Stitchwork Lyrics by Yves Jarvis
Stitchwork
Sewn with a needle and thread
Embroidered or appliqué
Textiles and fabrics
Hemmed and then fastened
Garment tailored right to a T
Fibers merge and generate a blend
Then extend into a sheet
Cotton or velvet
I cannot help it
Never ceasing to excite me
Cloaked in lavish materials
Woven to accentuate
Natural endowments
Embellished proudly
Proportioned and all tucked away
Now I’m the silhouette of a man
Carry myself as such
No misapprehension
About my intention
When we cross paths
Walking down the street
Symbols are somewhat simple
To understand
This resolution is so low
So low
Mere appearance
Will have you discard or demand
This metric is set in stone
Set in stone
Wrinkles
Not so easy to iron them flat
When the heat and pressure’s low
So low
Stains
Don’t get me started with stains!
Oh, such a crippling blow
