lyrics

I opened the book,
you broke the binding
and pages collapsed
like heavy bullets
they pierced through the soil
as unfruitful seeds
sat in the sediment beneath the cover of
strawberry leaves

and breathed shallow breaths
tucked in the soil
sunk to deeper depths
over and over as a cold wind blew
I never knew
what good could come of this as bluebirds sing softly
far above the trees

Hey, this is not a game.
though you're trying hard to make it that way
now you speak in a foreign tongue
that you wield like a double barreled gun
and you still think that I'm some prodigal son
just waiting
to come home

No, I can't love you again
there are things I see, I couldn't see back then
and it's so easy to view the past
through your technicolor dream lens looking glass
you know the best of us could never last
time will sink you
like a stone
