Nov 2012
Earth and space collide in the dark**
&
During that night we almost forgot about the Giver,
The Giver that gives tears for fears
and the Giver that can lead you to the end of the tunnel
to see the infinite expansion of darkness unfold.

Dark sky, please bleed down on me
Unleash your holy fury and give me back my world
Release your hold, the death-grip unknown
The eyes that stare and make me wonder
Where on this earth you have gone

O’er sea
Or somewhere into the ocean deep
Way down South with your brothers and Father
Across the bridge running from me
Seven miles wide with the edge only a few feet away

Load your gun and feel the sun come over the hills
and melt the skin right off of your bones

I've said it before
and I still don’t know
Will I ever go home?
Am I really this hollow?

Please tell me if this is so
My pretty little ghost

Please save my soul
But don’t let me know
