TRAGIC ABSENCE OF A SAFE WORD

lyrics

The Tragic Absence of a Safe Word

I’m standing right In front of you
But you can’t see me
I’m breathing right onto you
But you can’t feel me
I’m yelling your name so clearly
It’s true, but
You can’t hear me

I ask if you’re uncomfortable
You just stare blankly instead
I guess I should know better
In those fetters
You can’t ever again nod your head

Because you’re dead
Dead
Dead
Dead.

I want you to admire my clever lunacy
But you can’t see me
To compliment my compulsive accuracy
But you can’t speak to me
To tell me you love me
Well, don’t you love me?
I’m right in front of you
But you can’t see

I ask if you’d like a hospital
But you only stare blankly instead
I guess I should know better
In these fetters
You can’t ever again nod your head

Because we’re dead
Dead
Dead
Dead

I probably should go just get going to the light
Instead

Dead

Dead

Dead.

about

ANTHONY XAVIER JACKSON California


I am a spoken word artist whose passion is music. I use a variety of media to render my works, including traditional instrumentation such as guitar, bass and drums. I also employ synths and all the tools of my DAW to make improv pieces to back my poetry.
LPD, Burroughs, Tear Garden, Watts Prophets, Last Poets, Radiohead… so many influences.
Enjoy.
