The fiercest calm

[axeslade]

Something more I've learned through T. Actually I've mentioned this before, but listening to Concertina brings it up...learning to deal with the violence in me, learning to help this amazon live with the kitten in peace. You know, I never wanted to be a violent creature, and I'm not, but this year since I've become friends with Bri and been forced to protect my loved ones in ways I never have before, I had to realize that there is a fierceness in me, and that it's beautiful.

Do you ever feel like you walk in a room, and you don’t know why, but you’re just so uncomfortable you’re crawling out of your skin, even though nobody’s touched you, physically? That’s in Concertina, when you feel like you haven’t excavated enough of your different personalities that when one pops up, you’re not sure where it came from, and you try to hack it out of yourself. It shocks you that you could have this kind of fault, or that other people could bring it out in you-Tori Amos

Concertina

clouds descending
I’m not policing what you think and dream
I run into your thought from across the room
just another trick can I weather this
I’ve got a fever above my waist
you got a squeezebox on your knee
I know the truth is in between
the 1st and 40th drink

concertina, concertina
a chill that bends
this I swear you’re the fiercest
calm I’ve been in
concertina, concertina try infrared
this I swear you’re the fiercest
calm I’ve been in

the soul-quake happened here
in a glass world
particle by particle
she slowly changes
she likes hanging chinese paper cuts
just another fix can I weather this
I got my fuzz all tipped to play
I got a dub on your landscape
then there’s your policy of trancing
the sauce without the blame

concertina, concertina
a chill that bends
this I swear you’re the fiercest
calm I’ve been in
concertina, concertina try infrared
this I swear you’re the fiercest
calm I’ve been in

too far, too far, too far
it could all get way too cheerful, now
I’ve got a fever above my waist
you got a squeezebox on your knee
I know the truth is in between
the 1st and 40th drink

concertina, concertina
a chill that bends
this I swear you’re the fiercest
calm I’ve been in
concertina, concertina try infrared
this I swear you’re the fiercest
calm I’ve been in
