There is no right way or wrong way, you just have to live
and so I do what I do, and at least I exist
what could mean more than this?
First you want to ride off into the sun
Then you want to shoot straight to the moon
Make a plan to love me sometime soon
Yeah, the hook’s in deep, boys, there’s no more time
So you can struggle in the water
Be too stubborn to die
Or you can just let go
And be lifted to the sky
It was in a foreign hotel’s bathtub I baptized myself in change
And one by one I drowned all of the people I had been
I emerged to find the parallels were fewer
I was cleansed
Oh, my patient prisoner, you have waited for this day and finally
You are free! You are free! You are freezing!
Now I’m staring at the sun waiting for it to explode
Because a day is gonna come…don’t know when but it will come
And then we will finally know the way out of here
You walk so near to the lockers; You lay so low in the grass
Did you get that coat from the principal? Did you get that bruise on the bus?
You should wash your hair more…You should look more like us
I saw you walking once under powder blue skies
You looked cold still, your color was high
And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by
I don’t know which I said then, hello or goodbye
“I say Live, Live because of the sun,
the dream, the excitable gift.” - anne sexton
Some days go on too long, so no one can hang out tonight.
Here where the carpet’s cool and soft, underneath the clock,
I feel my weary heart is put to rest.
