It is the sun in your eyes The light in the dark It is the map on your skin And the curve of your body It is the agonizing pain of desire It is feeling too much And not feeling enough It is the smashing of fists against the wall And the wretched banality of existence It is all of those things and more That feeling flowing through your fingers The longing grasping at your heart It should be said The broken, the battered That ****** worn out heart Made ugly from the thrashing of life Will beat on When all is said and done It doesn’t matter what you’ve thought Or how you’ve felt In the end Death will follow birth Life will drift by Just as the drums of autumn Pound the leaves from her trees The sun will set radiantly The moon will rise gloriously When you and I no longer matter Not to the living Not to the dead The earth will devour us And the sea may commit us to memory

Close Your Eyes
It is the sun in your eyes The light in the dark It is the map on your skin And the curve of your body It is the agonizing pain of desire It is feeling too much And not feeling enough It is the smashing of fists against the wall And the wretched banality of existence It is all of those things and more That feeling flowing through your fingers The longing grasping at your heart It should be said The broken, the battered That ****** worn out heart Made ugly from the thrashing of life Will beat on When all is said and done It doesn’t matter what you’ve thought Or how you’ve felt In the end Death will follow birth Life will drift by Just as the drums of autumn Pound the leaves from her trees The sun will set radiantly The moon will rise gloriously When you and I no longer matter Not to the living Not to the dead The earth will devour us And the sea may commit us to memory
