lyrics

I was born and I died. Happened right before your eyes, and you still wanted something more than silence out of me. I was hiding. I've been lying sick in bed and trying. Now it's too late for perfection. You won't see my face again. Last night I was struck paralyzed. With blood all lost yet imprisoned inside. A voice in the choir blending in. What's the point of singing these old standards again? Just keep circulating. I was touching my green lover when her roots broke from the stem. She is moving out her parents' house and never returning. So I asked her for a signal that she love me for sure, and she spelled it out in letter blocks and placed it right there in my hand. Then she kidnapped and reminded me of all the grief I had caused. Like time you can't stall now it's punishing us all. Midnight stung asleep in a web with a dream of escaping start new in the morning. Yellow leaves strung from trees bend and snap and conceive. Are you happy? All these sights and sounds go unrecorded except a door crashing now in its frame and an egg falling now in a dark, filthy hallway. In a bleak, helpless sky I saw the sunrise. And I watched that little baby raise his hand to throw a snowball, saying I must kill my father so that sorrow can end. Then he crawled back in the water for a breath that he took and stretched, 'cause every time you discover is like being born again. Looking through some color pictures, I never felt so much joy as when I reach an understanding.
