imagine that i'm on stage under a watchtower of punishing light. and in the
|
haze is your face bathed in shadow and what's beyond you is hidden from sight.
|
and somebody right now is yawning and watching me like a tv. and i've been
|
frantically piling up sandbags against the flood waters of fatigue and
|
insecurity. and that's when i hear my guitar singing and so i just start
|
singing along. and somewhere in my chest all the noise just gets crushed by
|
the song. imagine that i'm at your mercy, imagine that you are at mine. just
|
pretend that i've been standing here, watching you watching me all of this
|
time. imagine that you are the weather in the tiny snow globe of this song.
|
and i am a statue of liberty one inch long. so here i am at my most hungry,
|
and here i am at my most full. and here i am waving a red cape, locking eyes
|
with a bull. imagine that i'm on stage under a watchtower of punishing light.
|
and in the haze is your face bathed in shadow and what's beyond you is hidden
|
from sight.
