All Good
kgmeloy – April 27, 2020 – Song 24, a “Cincinnati Quarantunes” song

and now
a metaphor for waiting
a still life
a bit of time that’s gone

once more
a danger of relating
too much
to what has come before

give it to me, believe in me
can’t hardly see twist of the key

it’s all good
i won’t deny it
all of my problems are wry
all good
just get inside it
squeeze until it’s dry

and now
trying to avoid it
don’t look
into the gorgon’s eye

it gives
and then it takes away
i’m tired
and i don’t know why

it’s all good
i won’t deny it
all of my problems are wry
all good
just get inside it
squeeze until it’s dry

it’s hard to do this
inside a vacuum
looking for some kind of sign
it’s all good
it’s only feedback
wait for the stars to align

looking back on how this started
from far away
a game without an end that i
don’t want to play

give it to me, believe in me
can’t hardly see twist of the key

it’s all good
i won’t deny it
all of the angst is a lie
all good
just get inside it
squeeze until it’s dry

it’s hard to do this
within (inside) a vacuum
looking for some kind of sign
it’s all good
just lacking patience
wait for the stars to align
