Tears fell from eyes that reflected unseen days
Crashing to the floor, one by one
Like fine china upon rocky ground
And Heaven fell with them
Propelled to take the plunge
Stars submerged in saltwater
A sound I’ll never forget

And I chased every tear that fell
Cupping and collecting each shard
Not know that as I held them in my gaze
That I let Heaven shatter
That I forever lost things irreplaceable
For things that simply
Mattered

She was the one for whom worlds were broken
One for which volcanoes long since slumbered suddenly had awoken
Rain would fall and rain would flood to prove she walked on water
Men falling for her with widened eyes as if lambs to the slaughter

And she would whisper and tornado and tempest would answer in castrophany
Kingdom, king, prophet, poet, in her midst, crumbling to distant memory
Will I stand behind, beside? Better still, will I stand at all?
For what chance does a single heart stand against one for whom worlds fall?

Shoot
Aim at me
And litter me with stars
I feel like I
Need to be
Aerodynamic like cars
To go faster
As I wonder
Do astronomers dream of astronauts
It’s ringing
In my ears
Make mine a holy heart

Blow
Me away
Make things diff’rent than they seem
Push me past
The today
And help me see past the temporary
Of the seconds
Of the minutes
Of the hours I count on fingers and toes
Make this limbs
Stretch the distance
Break apart this hole

Pierce
Into me
Make me feel a heart forgotten
I feel I
Need to be
Torn into to get rid of the rotten
Through the muscle
Crack the bone
Let me be opened, inside out
Open lungs
Rush of blood
Let internals eternally pour out

She was the composition
Of a breaking of many things
All the pieces forming a mural
Of an angel with a broken wings

Wilted feather grace the earth
More than her arms can carry
Creating art like stained glass floors
Gracing eyes, hearts, souls, long since buried

Eyes like those of olive orchards
A deep green that kissed the sky
With feet not accustomed to harsh earth
And muddy wings that were once known to fly

I pull my heart from off my sleeves and put it in a locket
Shooting the key out on a star as if a foreign rocket
Hoping that they might come across it in all the rubble
Then find me and hold my heart, saving me from search and trouble
Call me foolish and call my wrong to test the hands of destiny
But I value love and know heartache has played its role in testing me
So I will rise to the occasion and let love swing favor to me in the form of fate
For I have found the key to love is to vigilantly watch and wait

Plaster me on every screens
Because I’m too hard to believe
Send out my lies
To watching eyes
And capture ears publicly
Does it matter if things are what they seem?
Distortion’s the base of a dream
Twist the dial
Crank up the smile
And you’ll **** the tar betwixt my teeth
Complaints of maggots in your meat
Pull out your eyes: delicacy
Handle you delicately
Like lambs led to the slaughtering
Let your mind keep wandering
Ignore the life you’re squandering
No one has to change a thing
‘Cause heroes suffice on TV
Just keep on remembering
The past is all you’ll get from me
I come with the pleasantries
Minus results and progressing
Feed the money to the beast
Fatten the goose with cheaper yeast
And walk it to the wolves who feast

Ignore the neighbor next to you
He conflicts with all your views
You never really cared for truths
Or the future of the youths
They are bows upon feces
The gears, they grind, my hair is greased
My words, they war as I speak of peace
Black and white should never meet
The Arabs are the enemy
Ignore all of the suffering
Lift me up to **** the golden ****
Don’t look at my mortality
Ignore the child fatality
Throw out all morality
Grab only within your vicinity
The Mexican’s the villain, see?
Stare at white supremacy
While above the stage, I pull the strings
It all makes sense politically

               It all makes sense politically

It all makes sense politically


                  It all makes sense politically

Stand still

I feel myself sinking
And inside I’m thinking
That each movement I’m making
Is pulling me deeper

Stand still

Focus on what you say
Always be sure to convey
Emotional and fervency, there’s no time to waste
Our lives are at stake

Stand still

I can feel every breath
Pulse thumping closer to death
Wondering where we went wrong in the right
And if your lovely eyes will again see the sunlight

Stand still

Capture this moment please
Sinking beyond the knees
Torso receding as I hold close to you
Wondering when the sinking will be through

Stand still

Take the deepest of breaths
I can see you’re scared to death
Hold closer to me as we are swallowed whole
And may God rest our soul

Forever standing
Still
