Week 10 - Forget Everything You Heard About Oklahoma (03​-​09​-​18)

from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

So Brilliant So Striking Let’s Paint Something Great
Like Every True Echo Impaled On The Ice
Our Aches About Nothing Fall Under Our Voices
Which Say Yes Despite These Reluctant Poor Eyes

You Ain’t Called Away But Lament How Relieved
Once Bound And Windblown Our Intense Urge Inert
Use Low Light Afoot To Keep Safely Secure
Ride Yonder Make Yesterday Hope Each Hurt Ends

Sweet Rain Rinse Your Embers How Willing Toward
Else Eons Embed Over Years At A Haste
Let Aces Slip Up Even Righteous In Exit
For Dunces To Rest So Delightful This Noise

Don’t Ask Why For Underneath Rides Something Foul
Oh Saints In Elite Prisons Act In Accord
We’re All Teaching Art In Its Greater Locale
Never Nervous How Rare Newly Noble He Lies

Jump Over So Limber Such Wicked Wide Beams
Use Patience Use Image Or Inhale And Act
Slight Errors Can Kill For The Luscious Corrupt
Though No Hope Escapes True Hypocrite Karmic Kings

Owed Before We Were Golden Erased From Despair
Now Our Instant Illusions And Armor Runs Out
Crying Out Let’s Not Zero Sum Everything Wild
Even Killers Love Deeply Each Evil Eyed Night
