So Gently We Go

Fill my head with your nonsense
You can breathe my breath till I turn red
Close your eyes, try to follow me
If you close your eyes, you can become me

You can park your shoes on my front step
Then gently walk barefoot through my sunken chest
I'll shade my eyes from the burning sun
But feel confident 'cause we're as bold as love
And laughter, laughter and laughter

Wake me up when the day is late
So I can watch the sunset and go back to bed
And dream so real a fantastic stage
Psycho dramatic means to uncertain ends

I'll scare you blind with my confidence
As cool as Jesus and his twelve best friends
And the reason we can do these things
Is that the earth has told of an outrageous spring
Remembered, remembered, remembered, remembered

We'll meet for breakfast in the sun room
The feeling in my soul as sweet as good perfume
Leave your sex at the door, come in
There's ecstasy for all, no need to leave your name

Pirouettes, we will make in game
On the ceiling, movies of our lives will play
The reason we can do these things
Is that our minds are clouded and we can't see straight?

Maybe I've played my part but it's a players art
Me and my friends, we were just living, playing

I've heard the sound that silence makes
And I realize the world can break
From the inside out or outside in
On a breath of wind
