The lion that comes to me
With the head of the past
Keeps the heart of a parliament
And all the things that I lack
But what could I do?
What could I do?
Turn away
Crash that single passenger plane
Laugh it off
Laugh until the feelings all just stop
Now the fossil in permafrost
A copper thief in the grass
Decaying symbols of gold
At the lemonade stand
But what could I do?
What good could I do?
Sink or swim
The same fate now I’m always so vacant
And gone so far
To not come back is easier
Thoughts so cruel crop up soon
Shapes and lines that show up overnight
And there’s no one around to tell or even thank
So I keep it all in again
Until it doesn’t exist
The quiet murmur of life
I always heard it persists
But I hear nothing now
And feel nothing at all
But I will wait
Like a soldier before daybreak
And dig and dig
One day I won’t come up empty handed
