Saw you through the window/saw you at the back of my mind
Ill wait
If you see me to the gatefold/can i get a little piece of your time
Ill wait
I dont need you to reflect me/but i need you to respect me on high
Ill wait
I want you to be ready/but im standing at the end of your line
Ill wait
Ill wait/for tongue’s lawless/
Past gestation and nativity/
Ill wait here regardless/
Of the loss of mind’s proclivity
For love/and loving
My nerves cant be outnumberd/they lead me to an altar unseen/
Unsafe
Our foundation, drips of color/a deeply rich but hesitant green
unsafe
I want you to be ready/i want to tell you all of my needs/
Unsafe
Our foundation is unsteady/sometimes harder to lay bricks than to grieve
Unsafe
unsafe/like weeping willow/halved by lightning while the churchyard sleeps
unsafe/head to pillow/dreaming you become stranger to me/
And i lay in the darkness its a sexless wrath of bland dis-ease
But my heart unharnessed is stronger than the lot of me
In love and loving
Hey, let your guard down/stop pushing me away
Hey, let your guard down/and i'll give it just another day/
I'll wait/I'llwait/I'll wait/I'll wait
Are we something? Or/
Are we just another sad song?

Listening to this a few years on, Chapter 319 feels almost melancholic, a reminder of the time where police abolition had nearly mainstream appeal. The tracks still make me furious at the bullshit cops continue to get away with. dninemfive
