Michael McGuire - Stifled Poet lyrics
STIFLED POET
He who would have his song in and of all things, wrecked and tongue 
tied; unable to utter what he would otherwise sing, of a relentless 
aching; an un-clocked brooding on some certain theme, in dowered 
conventions his rapture swallowed; his will silenced in a vow.
In various angles from all sums of god proven geometries, he tries to 
hang this painting that will change the view from his window of 
dreams, but in failing even; this his ego collapses into an amorphous 
gulf of agony, and think-dreaming maybe the spring will; maybe the 
spring will.
In studied measures he anguishes all things beyond his rhyme and 
reckon, even of weather forecasts; disasters in the sun; things 
abandoned of sense, making need from what he reviles to list as 
want, making vice versa in suffering beauties unsung song; oh to 
wreck on that star.
The carcass of unsolicited meanings; yes; that weight on his musings, 
anticipating each new day holds his ransom; but every evening a 
prisoner still, is he not born of the lust of nothingness; can he not 
procreate his salvation's matron, will he be tokened to some bitch Michael McGuire - Stifled Poet - http://motolyrics.com/michael-mcguire/stifled-poet-lyrics.html
fantasy for the sleep of his eons.
Yet still passing; a specter with the automatic poise of blank 
ceremony, his desperate longings; his muse milking song from 
another mans throat, his indecipherable torment unable to reach 
that turning where grieving becomes healing, where perhaps these 
longings; these trappings; would sound their bottom.
Unable to vouchsafe or quit his expansive collapsing into reason, he 
becomes the delicate hammer of his own aesthetic deconstruction, 
and this mythical fix grinds the rotting teeth of his dreams, and his 
dominant symbol of unableness becomes the chorus of his stifled 
song.
In each of his universal molecules he seeks the knife of his wound, 
un-nurtured of his nurse; indifferently to those who would hurt or 
heal, he snarls like a wild animal that has had his pain remembered, 
with gravity; alas overcoming the chronic; soft urgency of his wings.
So; in finding no language to unburden his silence of sorrows, tears 
become the only medium to send these parked rivers onward, and so 
with no listener to hear this confession without the derision of 
ignorance, he will fast on his silence in wait for starvations mercy.
