lyrics

The worms residing in the ground outweigh the cows that graze above; waving grass outlines their world. They’re like the people living in this town with small and sunken eyes beneath their hats and scarfs. It is better to be blinded by the light of day than to stay crawling in the earth you either surface or choke in the rain.

A small tallow candle lights up the room.
I reach inside my bag.
It’s an old illustrated but partly burned book,
that crumbles in my hands.

I am fine, here, I learn, here I hide

From letters to words from a sentence to a meaning, dangerous thoughts come to mind that forever change the reader. Silent words.

Each image a lie; a parody of light, there’s no paint on this earth that can blend into a bright white.
These words are black, they did not fade with age. There’s nothing more opaque then the black ink on this charred page.

I am fine, here, I learn, here, I hide

I just left Plato’s cave, my eyes hurt in the sunlight, Galileo took my mind, it now revolves around my cranium. Silent words.
