ALEX WRIGHT CONTAINS MULTITUDES

’86 TO INFINITY

The Sorted Static & Dead Channel Dreams of Alex Wright

Shadows

By: Alex Wright

Been living in loathing way too long
Hate the taste of my name
The weight of the words rolling off my tongue
Keep breathing to live 
Don’t know if I’m trying
Did auto-pilot set in
To save me from myself?
My apathy?
My stunted speech?
The strange in me 
That won’t stop showing?

Shadows are only as safe as the light that you can reach
I’m reaching out to you

So called sins of the city
So soft
So strong
Searching alleys for change
Finding more of the same shit that has been there all along
Rarely asking for more than common decency

But oh dear God,
Could You spare one fucking moment of Your time
Just to save us from ourselves
Our apathy
Our stunted speech
The strange in we
That won’t stop growing

We’re only as good as the promises we keep
I’ve lost quite a few
But I’m better today
More alive
I can feel it
I don’t care if you’re listening
I’m screaming the truth
