I knew a girl
Swore she didn’t believe in divinity
But every night she lay awake hoping
That Saint Peter turn a blind eye

I knew a boy
Pretty as could be
His body a gilded cage
His mind an angry sparrow

I knew a boy
Cursed alcoholics as demons
But seldom did he sleep
Without a bottle in his hand

And I knew a girl
Lonely as the sea
Delicate as a rose
But missing her thorns

I knew a boy
Built a throne from lies and stories
But every day at his feet
A new emperor would bow

And I knew a girl
Angry as could be
Handsome as a dream
Bitter as the spirits she fought when she slept

And I knew me
As I know them
The raging tempests
The beast of desire
