Keep It Even

There's a drawer in my house that I try

To keep closed but it's open

There's a commitment that I made to be

Somewhere but it's broken

An oblique mantra in my head

It lies there

On the floor

Like a bed that would collapse like a trap

If it was spoken

You gotta keep it even, even when

You're uptightEven when you're happy

Even when you're reaching for some

Line I've had in mind

It's been repressed over time

So I'm breathing

Seduced by an excuse that could

Not be made but I'm speakingThere's a phone with a number that

I try not to call but it's ringing

For someone I've tried to keep to

Myself but I'm singing

It's logic that's twisted and paraphrased

And justified by a distance that separates

A bond, bound of persistenceYou gotta keep it even, even when

You're uptight

Even when you're happy

Even when you're reaching for

That drawer in my house that I try

To keep closed but it's open
