lyrics

Confounder

I will go to ground and turn my body round,
This is the place to know, I’ll confuse and I’ll confound.
The earth is dark the river swift, the trees are tall and strong,
In the bay a sailing skiff with keel both smooth and long.
I will grow my hopes and let my smiling show,
Paint on all my clothes, put stones on peaceful toes;
In sudden winds I’m lifted up, set, reset and set again.
Wild, unmarked and free to choose, my folded heart untamed.
Both hands in the land to weigh my spirit down,
My origami ventricles pump with paper sound.
Seen from the side I’m less than air, a trick played once and doubled;
The value placed upon my life brings calculated trouble.
A fool once played or spent is counted and discarded,
The love that I feel is tempered, forged and hardened.
A paper knife to open you with abandon and composure,
The humour of the story comes at its final closure.
