#9: "Tesserae"

Tesserae, a work by Jamie about Jamie, not a song, not quite noise.

(I wrote this a month ago. However, it seems to apply now even more than ever. This song is about emotions - frustration, boredom, but most of all anxiety. And the hope that anxiety will dissipate...somehow.)

Lots of soul-searching. Tesserae are pieces of a mosaic - this song is divided into 4 distinct parts. Morning, thoughts upon waking, the mind wanders, dreads; Day, life in a cube, a scream, longing (as always); Dusk, arrival home, tempered happiness, tempered hope; Dream, stillness, joy, breath. If you want to understand me, just listen.

Lyrics:
1. [morning]
here it comes again
here it comes again
make it a long time ago
never waited around

2. [day]
i've gotta get it back
i've gotta get it back
i've gotta get it back
i've gotta get it back...
i've gotta get it back...
oh
yeah
i've got to get it back

3. [dusk]
oh
oh my child
i dream of this day
for as long as i live
the day when
this
is what i hear
is what i hear
is what i hear
my child...
oh my child
when the wavering is silenced
when the stuttering has ceased
i hear a choir of angels
from far away.

4. [dream]
(choir)
