Whack

Feeling's rising from out of somewhere I don't know I can't figure it out It's the start of something and it's here for the long haul It's taking hold of me now

My flesh creepin' Someone's speakin' I start tremblin' and the floorboards're creakin' Can't put it to words, but I started to write My hand's shakin' Brain's achin' But I'm gettin' down all that I can take in The voices crowdin' my head ain't gonna give up without a fight

A single mandate emerges from chaos Whatever it says'll be done So many images demanding attention But now out of the many there's one

One sound One crown Both knees bowed down on the ground Take your place in the line and get out of the way One voice One choice To drown out all of the white noise Forget the praise of the people, when the lightning is striking, your job is to step aside and pray

One sound One crown Both knees bowed down on the ground Take your place in the line and submit to the will One voice One choice And I ain't talkin' goddamn James Joyce Forget the portrait and artist, when the lightning is striking, it's time to stand and be still and be filled
