There’s a reason why
Each star has their own position in the sky
The moon angles perfectly
We are all linked together for eternity.
Eternal you and me
Stuffed into our bodies
Until it’s just monotony.
The face of the moon isn’t smiling anymore
Teardrops fall as rain on the Earth’s floor
Somehow this expression of pain
Can cause a good person to go insane.
Careless words run from my mouth
I’m talking before my mind has figured it out
I leave words sprinkled like thorns
Affixed to anyone needing to be reborn
My presence here is not a mistake
Even though I’ve forgotten how to make cake
This is the time of saltiness and bitterness
Not a time of wishing things were different
I must be asking God for a lot
Because here I am again in the town fled by Lot
I caused harm last time I visited this place
My remorseful tears somehow met with grace
Death is so beautifully near
To make good on the promises I made in fear
And yet too many have gone so young
And before I go, I’d like a little more fun.
