Lyrical Quandary
This one's been plaguing me...and it's my latest song. See what you think. I was trying to jam to songs together, but have recently split them off from one another.
Part One: Composed 30-31 May 04 and 21 June 04
All the things I can't handle
have been implanted in my skin
while I slept / while I didn't
what was painless then
now scorches my flesh
peels bubbles me
I knew I'd get caught up again
knew the pouring down
would carry me away
and I didn't even care
I see the barbed wire encircled round
your heart
and though I'd cut my hands
my soul to get to you
one touch, and the bloodless
stops its flow
and I know
_____________________
Part Two: Composed 30 May 04
so we sit in the grass
dewey eyed twins
mending hearts with flowers
stitching ventricles with volumes
of tales of trials
of sweet remembrances
and tired fates and hurts and
the grass in between toes
wriggling in the dawn of it
wriggling between memories
and futility
so I smile and fall in the grass
to wake winded and pollinated
to wake in recovery
sweet ceremony, poppy in my hair.
