Conceptually - The sequel to "Poised At Standpoint".
A song sung by Davethbaq, the Listener & Reciter.
lyrics
Is it true that common sense has lost its ear?
Reciter: [It sure seems that way...]
Feel comfortable to state your inquisitions here
Reciter: [Please...if i may?]
The need to feel that candor tidings are near
Reciter: [i feel it, i feel it]
Well, Davethbaq is the name.
They call me: The Listener.
Reciter: [Davethbaq is the name, they call you: 'The Listener']
So up your head! These long ears ain't for clownin'
Oh, let it out boy! There's no shame in mourning
i listen to sadness; understand
Try to fix the matter at hand
Oh, off you go! With a sense of mission
To a place that uses snow for sand!
"Learn to accept your reality
Accept the things that tear at your heart
And the things that squeeze your eyes dry
And the thing that's thirsty for your grief
Accept them. It's happening.
Yeah, they're happening..."
Reciter:
"From this standpoint on, i'll be poised
Thank you, Listener. Kind sir;
For clearing the noise of pain & distress from my insides
No other companion of mine will i allow to close
His or her eyes..."
