Sold for a Song

the bones of the doors in some parallel worlds,

 

I take hold and swing but then they fall apart,

 

to fly toward dimensions I never suspected.

 

 

the leaves of the heart where you've never trespassed

 

fold open just like a mechanical clock,

 

all gears and cylinders driven by time.

 

 

it's too late when the bones disperse,

 

it's too late when the clocks stop talking-

 

caught in the wake of something immense.

 

 

help me wake up, I’ve been sleeping too long.

 

help me wake up, we’ve been sold for a song.
