lyrics

The Heretic

They said my head was full of stuff
And my soul was trapped in brands
Impromptu archive cluttered up
Second-guessing secondhand

What I can’t sell and I can’t keep
Heirloom worthy. I feel torn
Folderol? A worthy cause?
Why do I feel cause to mourn?

Cellar full of cabinet clatter
Attic ladder can barely close
How little things seem to matter
Once it’s time to let them go

The things I thought I could repair
Are things I just prolong
Bequeathed to me from mender friends
Beholden to hold on

Photo album firmament
Or chromatic shutter speed
Faces on my fingertips
Resin polyester green.

Sentimental spread and scatter
Old worn storage in repose
How little things seem to matter
Once it’s time let them go

Cellar full of cabinet clatter
Attic ladder can barely close
How little things seem to matter
Once it’s time let them go
