Old chair sittin' broken in the corner a dusty mirror hangin' on the wall mamma's in the kitchen makin' a cup of coffee daddy, he's just sleeping down the hall sisters in the backyard picking' flowers brothers in the treehouse with a gun and I am watching all, but they can't see me no one else around knows what they've done
Some of them will live and die without ever even knowing and I have lived and died among them all bones'll break and dust will make the pathways we walk after and you will hear my voice after it all
old man shopping cart down by the river the banker drives his cadillac back home his high rise overlooks the lifeless city that in his eyes does not seem lifeless at all twigs and sticks have gathered to build a heart of fire twigs and sticks or maybe sticks and stones give or take or crush and break the time that you fear after realize it was never there at all
Some of them will live and die without ever even knowing and I have lived and died among them all bones'll break and dust will make the pathways we walk after and you will hear my voice after it all and you will hear my voice after it all and you will hear my voice after it all bones'll break and dust will make the pathways we walk after and you will hear my voice after it all (c) 2011 CJM
