lyrics

a pity case
stained by
a nervous wreck,
beneath the face,
deeper than
deep eyes,
a dozen
strange
designs,
hosted by
burried
chest
cries.

years of noise
churned into
silence.
a tight
faithless
grip.
a stumbling mass
too terrified
to salvage
or leave behind
the shadowy skin
of a long
time.

morning seemed
so far away.
morning seemed
so far away.
morning seemed
so far away.

then the quiet
lips of the dawn
hailed a heartful
living song,
showing clear
and straight
through,
up and out
of me or you,
cut through
coulds and
should and
lonliness,
before the scars
and tainted heels,
before the fire
on the battlefield,
the harmony
sweetly
rings.
like anything
that grows,
like young
turning old,
it's just 'knowing'
when you 'know'
that there is
meat on the bones
of loosing
so much weight
off this pity case;
leave behind
burried
chest
cries.

the night turned
in today.
the night turned
in today.
the night turned
in today.
