lyrics

Fence out

When we’re, all in
And cutting out pictures of faces
We’ve lost to time
We’ll keep hiding
And hoarding are strength with our share
Until it shines

With open arms, meet the imposed will
And downcast eyes, bid the lips be still

And we close the gate
Fence out the exchange
Perhaps it protects us
But it works too well.

Board up the booth,
Got no tickets to sell
To the shoe-string charade
Got no stories to tell
You listen long, you listen well
It’s your turn the parlance is stale
Perhaps it protects but it works too well


No one stops
To taste what we’ve grown to expect
Is lost on the vine
Furrowed dreams, bleed
Until pillows are full and betray
Our empty heads

Blowing rings of smoke,
One for each lost year
Can’t help but choke
Trying to fake the tears

And we close the gate
Fence out the exchange
Perhaps it protects us
But it works too well.


Board up the booth,
Got no tickets to sell
To the shoe-string charade
Got no stories to tell
You listen long, you listen well
It’s your turn the parlance is stale
Perhaps it protects but it works too well

Steven Kattenbraker Washington

Part Eliott Smith, part L. Cohen, as run through the production wringer of Daniel Ash…Kattenbraker’s baritone voice is pleasant and soothing. The guitar work sweet and mellow and, might I add, deftly played… Portland’s Music Liberation Project
