Call Waiting

from Confluence by Jason Vitelli

lyrics

Wait for a second; wait another second
It’ll be just a moment
But can never seem to get this right

I won’t be alive; I won’t be alive
I sit here and bide my time
But it's not easy to stand naked

I won’t be another wasted life
Generated by anxiety
But my way doesn’t pave a way
Toward any sort of possibility

So I slide on by
And I want you as mine
And I try and I try
But the minutes are like fire

I sit by the phone and say that it's OK
A mantra fed existence
Pouring out of a starving heart

But the ringing in my head rings true
And it shivers down my spine
I never felt so out of sorts
Driven mad by a singularity

Connection bursts me through the lines
My lips worn icy chapped now are moist
Color flushes into my face; I cannot think straight
It was my sigh of relief that pulled apart my insides
Revealing some sort of shape for here and now existing again
And the voices that sped my turbines to feverish pitch
Now sing to me such soothing whispers

Jason Vitelli New York, New York

Cinematic rock music with a vision; this is Jason's sound in a nutshell. His songs are vignettes, narratives, painting a picture with intertwining lyrics and melody. Much of his writing is influenced by the experimental rock of the late 1970’s, marrying folk sentiment with the avant-garde crosscurrent of Berlin era Bowie, Kate Bush, Olivier Messiaen, James Joyce and Eric Dolphy. ... more
