Kevin Mileski: Listen/Look
Where's Your Conviction
(Kevin Mileski)
2003
Kevin Mileski
Where's your self-conviction?
Wear your anger on your sleeve
Take no for an answer
but never ever leave
Where their tongues are tied in physics.
Where they somehow learn to bleed.
Where their complicated wishlist
Does nothing for their needs.
Where's your self-containment
that we talked about for years?
Never show the purity
of the singing they'll never hear.
Welcome to privities
outside you're the queen.
and never claim the light of day
hasn't ever only been
there for those people talking
on the street above their needs.
Who know better than to slow down
just to comprehend the scene.
Will you follow in their footsteps
will you ride on your own sweet train
Waterfalls and cascades
and your own sweet mountain range.
Where's your self-containment
that we talked about for years?
Never show the purity
of the singing they'll never hear.
Welcome to privities
outside you're the queen
and never claim the light of day
hasn't ever only been
Never show the purity
of the singing they'll never hear.
Never show the purity
of the singing they'll never hear.
