the rantings of a lunatic on a sunday night...


Dig deeper, my tired friend
Walk the earth alone in those old dirty shoes
Remember lying on your back on hills of green
The dark gray skies above made you feel at home
Alive
The rain falling from the sky
Flowing through your body…
Only you understand
This hypnotic dance with the waves,
Immersed in their velvet embrace
Your tears are pure and beautiful agony
Don't shut the door
Don't bury her
Don't forget who you are
Broken and flawed and ruined -- you
Scratch away the skin
Peer into all of the holes
Don't be afraid to fall
Through the black, tar-covered, viney arms…
The darkness that you see
Is only your creation
You are ONE
So dig deeper, you good old weary soul
Find the fire and don't snuff it out
Don't be afraid to burn
In all your glory, all your rage
All your bruised insides ablaze
Breathe it in and push it out
Open up those wounds
Crack open
The deepest, blackest, most calcified secret truth
Don't lose your way, my dear
I'd hold your hand
But you can't see me
I am the hole in your heart
Denied, forgotten
Where have you gone?
