Sinking Stone - Electric Bard

Slipping slick between the river reeds Stripping down the clutter of consumer needs Surface ripples flatten to a glossy skin Trading off the shoreline where the doubts begin Murky water sliding like an oiled disguise Shutting out the glare of the suspicious skies Heavy as an anchor with an iron pace Settling directly in the unlit space Track the weight descending through the jade and teal Casting off the burdens that the senses feel Zero breath requested, zero debt to keep Drifting through the silence of the cool and deep It Pulls You Down So Easy, Fluid And Slow Far Beneath The Restless Rhythms Swimmers Know The pebble slips under without stirring a sound Where nothing that surrenders will be chased or found Silken silt embracing every knuckle tight Filtering the pressure of the midday light Looking upward where the sun becomes a silver dime Wholly insulated from the tick of time Yielding all resistance to the steady drag Dropping every emblem, pulling down the flag Why remain a sentry on the limestone shelf Bickering with phantoms of a former self? Track the weight descending through the jade and teal Casting off the burdens that the senses feel Zero breath requested, zero debt to keep Drifting through the silence of the cool and deep It Pulls You Down So Easy, Fluid And Slow Far Beneath The Restless Rhythms Swimmers Know The pebble slips under without stirring a sound Where nothing that surrenders will be chased or found Let the river strip away the woollen coat Let the water hush the panic in the throat Never kick against the magnet of the downward slide Take the easy exit where the secrets hide Unfasten the buckle, uncouple the brace Settle in the pocket of an empty space It Pulls You Down So Easy, Fluid And Slow Far Beneath The Restless Rhythms Swimmers Know The pebble slips under without stirring a sound Where nothing that surrenders will be chased or found Down through the black Leaving no track Slip the brass latch Trip the quiet catch Down on the riverbed tonight
