CUTS LIKE A SONG (feat. Joan Childress Wilkerson)
(music / lyrics: Thom Kunz)

It’s such a pretty, pretty, pretty fucked up world.
An open hand becomes a fist.
On the road, on the run with your saints and demons,
Who betray this silence with a kiss.

We learn to listen up.
We learn to play along,
But when our love is on the tip of a blade

It cuts like a song

Conversationalist.
Sensationalist.
Sensation. On a list of reasons
The seasons never change.

The heart’s a permanent space
For such a rancid place,
And still we fool ourselves
For the love of the chase.
Reassemble the pieces
To shatter all over again.

We can forgive the past.
We can move along.
But at the moment when you finally forget…

It cuts like a song

When I grow up
I want to live in a house
With a dog and a cat and paper mouse.
These are my dreams
And they’ll all come true
And they’ll never be ruined
By someone like you.

Medication.
Meditation.
I’m on the list for the new sensation.
From where I end and you begin.

We’ll always love you.
We’ll always need you.
‘Expectations’ are a patient virtue,
But they cut you,
When they cut you in two.

So, we say our prayers,
And we sing our psalms,
But when the words are gone
And the music fades…
