lyrics

I can see and be myself in this soft summer light.
Slipped so woefully into a laced and tripped up slumber.
Bugs and bruised and untreated lacerations.
And oh my sweet you’ve gone and cut your thumb again.
Fall underneath your weight

Lost in your pleasure and a forlorn wish aside
Designed to be your roadside companion
A tree with its roots growing out of its side

I lay me down in fear and warmth, each one as needed as the last
Man of his heart, pleased with my sending your wish to the front lines

Curse you for trying, all lost in the fighting
Courses have run thin for the worry without
Fall underneath your own weight

Wrist on as swivel, an easel, a chisel
My chin on your palm, reciting the psalms
The valley awakes and the firmament shakes
Unknown in your absolute power and jealousy
Toiling under the sun of depravity.

Shard of clay, pierced and cut through the ribs.
Hollow creaks from sleep and wakes me.
