Someone Somewhere

I hear its raining

The tides are turning

Filling up the washpans till we scrub our skin away

The sky is yellow

The clouds are burning

The air it has the fragranced of a brand new yesterday

Someone somewhere said

Trees have eyes and rocks have legs

And we have monsters in our heads

A secret kept to raise the dead

I hear an engine

It makes my mouth move

Spitting out those words that I can never hear

I'm not your neighbor

We live alone now

Wash away our sins into a bowling bath of tears

Someone Somewhere said

Feet are grounded

Thumbs are beacons

Lightning passes through instead

A secret kept to raise the dead

When I'm alive I will go walk out in the garden

Live on only flowers plant a seed

A fragile human seed

To grow a family tree

When I'm alive I will go walk into the ocean

Walk down in the deep plant a seed

I fragile human seed

To grow a family tree

A lovely family tree it will

Bones remember

Skin is tender

Golden puddles in our beds

A secret kept to raise the

Someone somewhere said

Trees have eyes and rocks have legs

And we have monsters in our heads

A secret kept to raise the dead
