Album: The Episodes (2012)

Around The Bend

Inside I'm free
no need to breathe
the knife cuts a careful arch
intent to leave it's mark
and through it, I see
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
Around and around the bend
this circle remains a friend
Around and around the bend
this cycle remains a test
in the garden she's scene
captured imagery
buried beneath the ground
still life all around
and through it, I see
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
Around and around the bend
this circle remains a friend
Around and around the bend
this cycle remains a test
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
with a step she closes in on me
like broken glass
a drop of jewelry
with a click she takes my breath away
and holds it for another day
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
Around and around the bend
this circle remains a friend
Around and around the bend
this cycle remains a test
Around and around the bend
this circle remains an end
below the place I carve and rest
a matchbook sparks a lone address
the fire burns and walks with me
down to Contemplation Street
