From the recording The Central Standards' Folly
Lyrics
Strike
By Jeffrey C. Capps
Sunshine spilling out across a favorite place
In-line, stack them up and fire up the parade
So far, so bad is all that you can see
There’s no stars, blow them out for all eternity
Watch them shimmer and then explode
It’s all this life has ever known
Okay, sometimes it’s hard to follow through
But don’t say you try your best to keep it true
Silence, his voice it always gets in the way
Violence, it’s handed down, you just gotta pay
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
And we failed you again
So afraid and alone and then
And we failed you again
A new beginning finds the same old end
A new beginning finds the same old ending
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
Strike the sweet frame and disappear
Don’t let me disappear
