You understand
My inside
My head
My Mind

So I get the feeling
That Right Now You Know What I Am Thinking
I think I said that all out loud

You smile and say
"You are a child in my eyes, but I see you as a demon
tearing at the gates of hell with sharpened teeth gnashing.
I see you as an angel kissing the hand of my mother
Asking my father God Rest His Soul
For my hand.
I see you coming down from the mountain
All the world ablaze
All the universe
All the nothing
You come to me with gifts of water and light
You leave me with moment of shattering loss
In this lighting and thunder I understand
You are nothing but a boy
Stuck in this world

You are nothing but a scared boy learning to be alive
Nothing but a angry boy playing"

Maybe now you understand me
The soft word has stolen the heart
The pen and the sword
