Cross the street from your storefront cemetery
Hear me hailing from inside and realize I,
I am the conscience clear in pain or ecstasy
And we were all weaned my dear, upon the same fatigue
You're staring at the sun,
Oh my own voice cannot save me now.
It's just…
Standing in the sea
One more breath and then I go down
Your mouth is open wide. The lover is inside.
And all the tumults done, collided with the sign
You're staring at the sun. You're standing in the sea.
Your body's over me.
Note the trees because the dirt is temporary
More to mine than fact face, name and monetary
Beat the skins and let the loose lips kiss you clean
Quietly pour out like light, like light, like answering the sun
Be what you will and then throw down your life
Oh it's a damned fine game and we can play all night
You're staring at the sun
You're standing in the sea
Your mouth is open wide
You're trying hard to breathe
The water's at your neck
There's lightning in your teeth
Your body's over me
