lyrics

I
am a second-hand wound.
I am bloomed of the salt in the field.
I
am an upside-down road.
I’m full of gold that’s too heavy to steal.
I
am a wheel under nothing.
I am the shushing steep free climb to joy.
I
am the eyes in the stop sign,
the immortal youth’s old little boy.
I
am the toys of the angels.
I am the void. I’m too lifelike to be real.
I
am numbers that can feel.
I am traded. I am the pretty good deal.
I
am the heal of Achilles.
I am soft as the afternoon moon.
I
am the swoon of the saint.
I’m too late. I’m too close. I’m too soon.

I
am the window in the tempest.
I am the emptiness. I am the famished vampire.
I
am the old. I am the new.
I am your shoes on the telephone wire
I
am the one who buys to destroy.
the little voice I hear when I gotta make a choice.
I
am a neighborhood I avoid.
I am a song to some and to others I am noise.
I
am the tear in the wing.
I am the thing you came back to get you can’t remember.
I
am the wind in my veins.
I am the answer plain as ash in the embers.
I
am a December fire. I am a stranger.
I am the long range rifle in a crowd.
I
am on the fence between whispers
and cannons and all things too loud.
