Pulpit Songtext
von Poetica

It is difficult to know sometimes
From the pulpit of entertainment
How much to let in
Let on

Fires consume continents (wars consume)
Wars consume regions
Friends consumed with mothers and fathers lost
What can we do (what can we do)
When we are gathered
This few of us on a Sabbath
At the edge of a city taut
Fraught with its own tragedy (its own tragedy)


Reviewing my potential setlist tonight
This darkness
Bravery′s on fire
I couldn't quite do (I couldn′t quite do)
Anticipating that if I sang publicly (anticipating)
What I mourn privately
No holds barred
Rivers would flow

Release show is an oxymoron
Releasing cannot be done for show (releasing comes)
Releasing comes from letting go

Sometimes, as Joy confided tonight
Playing music is so hard
But not playing is not an option
So I will rest my eyes (so I will rest my eyes)
Grateful for the opportunity to gather

Generous listeners
To the palm of my heart
Hopefully
Hopefully
Hope comes through (hope comes through)
Even when life cannot imitate art
