Everyday that goes by
and I don't know why
but I feel like I'm ten years older.
My bones get brittle
like sticks to the fire
they snap, they pop, and they smolder
I had been away for
how long I can't say
when I reached home I kissed the ground.
Then out of the sun
came this doorway bum
it was me and I didn't make a sound.
The waters swirl
the light comes rushing in
and pours out of my open mouth
rushes through my veins
and pours out of my open mouth
I couldn't sit down
my head spun around
I had seen a million miles.
my throat it tightened
my spine it cracked
my last breath came as a sigh.
The waters swirl
the light comes rushing in
and pours out of my open mouth
rushes through my veins
and pours out of my open mouth.
