Musical elegy for Philip Seymour Hoffman

lyrics

Philip
2014 Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
Mr. Siverstone Music/ASCAP

When he was a wrestler
grappling through pain
adding through subtraction
-- transformed as by a flame

Then he was an actor
taking on a role
impact in completeness
depicted from his soul

Do you speak from sleep
With blood, undone
beneath the dream
the sound beyond

Sweetest kind of daddy
knows the way to play
messes in the kitchen
truthful and humane

Succumb to all disasters
what you can’t control
afflicted by your vision
oblivion consoles

Do you speak from sleep
With blood, undone
beneath the dream
the sound beyond
