lyrics

Time & time again,
I'll grant you, if the veins in my arms
were wires copper and color-coded
and my mind a gun you loaded
and my heart an alarm clock blaring
talk radio, those maniacs baring
opinions like beat dogs flashing their teeth
at children, or mailmen, or little old me,
I am. I am

Time & time again,
and if my bones were metal joists
and my feet cinder blocks, the claws
of cranes my hands, and these thoughts
that clamber on construction crews
under drunken foremanship confused
only then might I be the servant you hope
could swallow their soul and not choke,
I am, I am.

But you're a birthday, deep with the dayshine.
From dusk to moonbreak, the dust of keepsakes.

Time & time again, I am, I am.
