It is fragile It is us Teetering on broken glass Figure skater pointed blade As we draw our figure eights Figure eight is what it seems It is inverted infinity Infinity is a new life But from birth we live to die Figure skater lies in wait Till the day last grace is said Figure skater life in traipse Figure skater draws last eight Though the funambulists unite Figure skater falls from grace Charting vulnerable territory Thinking glass will never break Then the grand tribune arrives Figure eight is half a piece And I never fully understood the gravity of life Until I watched somebody leave

Figure Skater
It is fragile It is us Teetering on broken glass Figure skater pointed blade As we draw our figure eights Figure eight is what it seems It is inverted infinity Infinity is a new life But from birth we live to die Figure skater lies in wait Till the day last grace is said Figure skater life in traipse Figure skater draws last eight Though the funambulists unite Figure skater falls from grace Charting vulnerable territory Thinking glass will never break Then the grand tribune arrives Figure eight is half a piece And I never fully understood the gravity of life Until I watched somebody leave
