A [Song] Concerning [My] Understanding

from Tent​/​Igloo​/​[​Canoe] by Wade Hunt

/

lyrics

A wooden chair stands the test of time
Lingering in the white walled attic space
Musty carpets sting sensibility
Steel strings emanate, sounds on this chair I create

A wooden shelf holds some books
and a light dimly shining
Mostly texts from [my] native tongue
but some from foreign shores and beyond (such speciest literature)
Some photos and posters recall
a time before I knew this chair at all

Ya we know, we live here
Ya we know, we live here
Ya we know, we live here
we live here

So please refrain from telling me about
People that I forgot about (I'm becoming-imperceptible, mom!)
I'm sick from reading and jaded on memories I wish I did without
I'm focused but drunk again
Solitude is righteous but being inward has its flaws

A guitar stands the test of time
Lingering in the white walled attic space
Smoky paintings sting sensibility
but steel strings emanate
some photos and records recall
A time before I knew this guitar at all

A wooden chair stands the test of time
Lingering
