lyrics

QOM

He will come. He has to.
He will come. He has to. He must.
He will come.

He will come. He has to. He must.
He will come.

Today, I became my own metaphor.
Robbing the graves of a photograph.
Often, I think myself cannonballs.
And who loves the earth more than cannonballs and metaphors?

Passing our brothers like cannonballs.
Lodged in the throat of your home like a cannonball.

I will be here.
I will be here.
I will be here. Here.

He will come. He has to.
He will come.

Yesterday, my heart was a pelican.
Today, the bird's turned to telephones, rattling.
Who says that love is a waterfall?
Better it were rainbows of sprinklers,
cast like a spell on the children of strangers.

I will be here. I am always.

He will come. He has to. He will come.
