The Loud Poets Album and Scoring Poetry (w/ Jack Hinks) - The Loudcast

I remember growing pain

Racing hearts and shifting lanes.

And I wasn't better than an experienced fool.

All I had I owed.

That I thought we'd built A life I filled with weather And overflowed The mud I swallowed turned to gold The emperor is upside down Now we don't fit in this town One of us has fallen through the earth Shuffled all of the thoughts I could stand Till you revealed your sleight of hand Call it one more sword and get your cut All of the seeds I had laid Outgrew mistakes I had made And now I'm stuck atop a tree and can't climb down And you look small beneath me now I remember standing up with broken ribs and hourglass cuts I bled so much sand off from God's account Oh, the ember is upside down.

Now we don't fit in this town.

One of us has fallen through the earth.

Shuffled all of the thoughts I could stand.

But you revealed your sleight

of hand.

Call it one more sword and get your cut.

Thank you.
