Lyrics
The air vent over Rothko Number 14 hums in G sharp,
A quarter past three on the fifth floor of the MoMA.
A security guard traces the grout lines with his eyes,
He's guarding a doorway made of beautiful trauma.
[Chorus]
And you are an unpermitted red,
A color field built inside my head.
A sudden satori, the thing I never said,
You are an unpermitted red.
[Verse 2]
I remember the key to your Greenpoint walk-up, how it burned my palm with cold.
You said, "Don't mind the mess, I'm still renovating."
A wabi-sabi floor plan, a story left untold,
Just a structural load of waiting.
[Chorus]
And you are an unpermitted red,
A color field built inside my head.
A sudden satori, the thing I never said,
You are an unpermitted red.
[Bridge]
The guard shifts his weight, the leather of his holster creaks,
And the whole room holds its breath for half a beat.
[Outro]
An open gate and losing all control.
An open gate.
About Fielding Bell
After spending five years in a Zen monastery in Kyoto, Fielding Bell returned to the world and landed in a tiny apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. He works part-time in a rare bookstore to pay rent. His songs, composed on a pawn-shop Ibanez guitar, are sharp, rhythmic field notes from a silent man learning to navigate the loudest city on Earth.
