lyrics

COMPELLED

I am compelled to raise my voice and make a noise that will not sell.
What's the point of pouring out my soul in a world that's digging rock n' roll?
When days are filled up to the brim, it's madness working on a whim, and still...
I am compelled.

The gallery is lined with fine and mediocre and profound.
Some pieces speak while others spite, the difference is never quite unwound.
Blue on blue is nothing new, I'm sure that I could make that too, and still...
You are compelled.

To the makers and the dreamers, hold your hands out to the fray.
There are takers and there are schemers
Who will lay you low, before they walk away.
All the makers and the dreamers hold their hands out to the fray.
They are shakers and believers who will lay it down and watch you walk away.

I say...
Sing on, sing on.
Make a sight and make a sound 'til you are gone.
Sing on, sing on.
Write it down, spiral bound, and carry on.

These words poured on a page dig in, lift up, and disengage the fight.
Fumbling forevermore and falling down upon the floor each night.
What can save my life today might be the things I sing and play alone.

And I do it over and over again.
Wait for it.
