Closer

Artists : Someday I : Closer

here
without the grace of god
i am
this man/this skin
full of fear
bending in every direction
save the one i could escape in
leslie, come
breathe for me
this heart
this stone
clench your fist around
my will is so strange and strong to drive this band
striaght to the bottom of the pool
i'm so sick of being clever
i just want to say something real
my pain and the truth are too close to tell right now
.this is a reprieve:
...out the window
on the roof
two cans of a six pack wagging from my hand
...a derisive scoff
...naivete
...sitting
looking
drinking
soft sunlight fading against the city skyline
...a black silhouette
starting to glow from the inside
starting to crackle with life
one window at a time

just like heaven radiates through the ceiling to my feet
