Before Iping Lyrics by Chamber Band

Governor’s Square

2017

I knew him well
Long before trials and tribulations
Long before hurt and accusations
He’d traveled miles…
I took him in
Said there was “room to spare”
Lit a fire, fed him pie, and tried to find meaning behind his stare
Recalled our time in the Governor’s Square and said:
“I’ve seen the curve of your cheek
So what’s the use, hiding beneath
Your spectacles blue in the light?
I know your skin and you know mine.”
Day after day
I’d find him occupied
Mumbling, grumbling, fumbling, over lost fragments of his mind
And whеn he failed to work through the night
I’d wrap him up in my arms
Trying to calm thе steady alarm said, “If anyone can bear the weight, I trust in us
I trust in fate.”
“This is not your weight to bear
I’m just a ghost of a man that you cared for,”
He gathered his things in a blur
And as he left I heard him curse
The gods and vials and the bottles in his case
The powders, the tonics, the code he couldn’t break
I closed my eyes and imagined his face
A distant arrangement of textures and shapes
I heard him go
The floor creaked and I was alone
His speech was soft and morose
A still silhouette of a hat and a cloak
I clung to the warmth of the bed
Uncertain of whether it was all in my head
Sometimes I wish he was here
But for all I know…
