Nothing Is Sacred

Branches stretch like fingers cutting
Through a night sky
Reaching up to embrace the rain
I am awake to feel the ache of my body tethered to the earth
Holding nothing sacred
Crescent moon smiles so menacingly
Watching the world from a starry throne
Sound of a distant highway bleeds through
The quietest evening
Holding nothing sacred
Facing mortality
There will come a day when
I return to the earth as food for worms
Holding nothing sacred
Holding nothing

Do you think that I could lay here
For a while?
I don't have any place that I'd rather be
Do you think that I could live here
For a while?
I don't have any place that I can go to
I never saw it coming
I only had a feeling
That you would speak a thousand years
In one longing breath
I never saw it coming
Like a lightening flash in my eyes
I wanted to see you
But it's rendered me blind
And you knew it
It's not what I expected
But everything I feared
Who will offer a kind word now?
Who will offer sweet solace and affection?
I never saw it coming
But now I see you going
And darling, I don't know if I should follow
But there I go
There I go

Closed Doors

Lately I see
From my doorstep
They sigh through waves of hope
But no one knows
That while you sleep
They take all you own
Who knows?
Lately I see
From my window
They cry from clouded hope
But no one knows
That while you sleep
They strip your dignity
Who cares?
So I close the door
And I crawl to my sheets
And I wait for the sun to rise
My soul is tired
So let me go
I won't tolerate any more
Lately I see
From my rooftop
They buy their way through pain
But no one knows
That while you sleep
They drink your soul
Who's there?
So I close the door
And I crawl to my sheets
And I wait for the sun to rise
My soul is tired
So let me go
I won't tolerate any more
