good Lord--there must be more
than this, must be more must be a greater
must be a greater greatness
than this
Oh God--there must be
something greater than this
Oh Lord, there must be
a further hill
there must be
a greater
city.
Ah God--the dark center of the day
devours me from
the inside
I choke, whenever
this world takes it breath
Ah God--
my hollow bones
devour me
from the inside
Oh Lord, I choke
whenever this world takes its breath
when it breathes in me
Lord
it chokes me from the inside
hey--Lord
why'd you make me
to flutter, ground-bound
hey-God, hey-Lord
why'd you make a bird
with paper wings
just enough to flap
not enough
to fly
oh God, oh God
why'd you make my arms a cross-beam
Lord, why'd you make my spine a pole
why'd you hammer me veinwise
five feet above the ground?
hey Lord--ain't no dice at me feet
ain't no spear in my side
oh you! merciless God
where is your pity?
what is this stuggling
the arms forward, and the back arched
a breath--one
fall forward
each one weaker
fluttering
each one weaker
down into tremoring
God!
you'd have us all die by
drowning
