There is a man holding a megaphone, so he must have been the voice of God. | |
The bystanders claimed they saw angels flying up and down the block. | |
Well, they must have been attached to wires. I saw one laying in the lawn with a broken arm, | |
so I called 911. So that is one less founded opinion. One more cause for a dispute. | |
So the street filled, like a basin, up with cameras and their crews | |
and they washed away the rumors leaving just the concrete truth. It was a spectacle. | |
No, I mean a miracle. So then I fell like that girl from a balance beam. | |
A gymnasium of eyes were all holding on to me. I lifted one foot to cross the other | |
and I felt myself slipping. It was a small mistake. Sometimes that is all it takes. | |
Now I'm staring at my wrist, hoping that the timing is right. When the planes will align. | |
There will be no planets to align. Just the carcass of the sun | |
and those little painted marbles spinning endless through an endless black sky. | |
(and so it never started and it will never stop just like I am and you are) | |
It was in a foreign hotel's bathtub I baptized myself in change. | |
And one by one I drowned all of the people I had been. | |
I emerged to find the parallels were fewer. I was cleansed. I looked in the mirror | |
and someone new was there. Still, I was as helpless as a chess piece | |
when I was lifted up by someone's hand and delivered from the corner my enemies had got me in. | |
But in all of my salvation I still felt imprisoned inside that holding cell that is myself. | |
So I wait for the day when I'll hear the key as it turns in the lock | |
and the guard will say to me, "Oh my patient prisoner you have waited for this day | |
and finally you are free! You are free! You are freezing." | |
Now I'm staring at the sun, waiting for it to explode. Because a day is gonna come, | |
don't know when but it will come and then we will finally know the way out of here. | |
And I will throw away this wrinkled map and my chart of stars and compass, cracked. | |
And I'll climb out that tree all wet with sap to avoid the hungry beasts below. | |
I'll cut out my love's tongue and sing of a graveyard gray and a garden green | |
and then we won't have to worry no more. No we won't ever worry again about | |
how this song or story ends about how this song and story will end. |
