lyrics

Channel

locked in a cathedral
to write his final piece
summing up the cosmos
at last the strain would cease

vodka in a thermos
berries in a cup
every time he sank down deep
his heart kept pushing up

god was speaking through him
or maybe just the muse
he could hear that distant call
so how could he refuse

no one came to see him
no doubt they feared his bite
he had left a bloody trail
when he’d run off that night

only sound could soothe him
the whisper and the scream
he intended to evoke
the spiral of a dream

chorus

he grew sick of failing
and solitude got old
plus he missed his pekinese
his condo hadn’t sold

art demands commitment
but really what’s the point
he prepared to call their bluff
and break out of the joint

chorus

now the channel sputters
the voices come and go
spread sheets clutter on his desk
some things best not to know

god was speaking through him
or maybe just the muse
he could hear that distant call
so how could he refuse
