about
Dedicated with love and indelible memory to Caitlyn Kowalczyk.
lyrics
You said "write it down,
What's it about Scarecrow
When you torch the beach into glass?"
You said "settle in
It's okay to be afraid
We all cut our own stones in a way"
So just like laughter is not a death rattle,
Don't mistake for decay, what's just a tacet phrase.
They took our sight
Then filled our throats
With brand new voices of fire.
If you could see
Me move through my
Newest year fresh born.
After I stood knee deep in the wrong side of the dirt,
You stood by me beaming bright and proud.
Then I saw the sky turn to bright orange light
As you retreat from this promising wasteland.
I held your hand as you closed the book
While I'm still here turning the pages.
Now you cease the fight
Of pushing rocks
Up a hill every day.
The sound of the drip
Of fentanyl and caffeine
A rhinoceros with angel wings.
We never met I just somehow always knew you.
But now is the time to ready for that nap.
Then I saw the sky turn to bright orange light
As you retreat from this promising wasteland.
I held your hand as you closed the book
While I'm still here turning the pages.
