The veins in your face bring color and warmth
to the skin which hangs by sinew from bone.
You are alive.
Your mother has sworn since the day you were born
that you were good and true and there was no one like you,
Not alive. You are alive.
Now a feverish sweat and an empty cabinet are home
and will likely remain so
Alive. You are alive.
A friend is a foe, so you push and they pull,
but what have you found save the blood on the ground?
You are alive. You are alive.
But how long can it last?
How far can you fall?
Now.
Hope for someone, or something, or someone, I don't know
Why I want what I want, but I want to know why I want.
The feeling is the same, but the weight will remain
With the want for change.
We speak of the thing, but we don't ever say
What it is, what it is, but why is it that which we can never say enough about?
We can never say enough…
But, Oh to be free!
Hold me together like a window pane
Reflecting what light there within without.
Look to the light. Look to the light.
Correct me whenever I stray the path
and I'll caress you when the days get hard to pass.
Look to the light. Look to the light.
When you wake, I'll get up too.
You get the coffee, I'll get the news.
On a porch, growing old with you
Every day is a little better view.
