Black Pearl

Did You Forget?

Black Pearl


Rewrite the book
chapter three is empty
pure white and hidden in the shadows
one voice moving lips are absent whispers
design for the future 
twisting steel frames cells glass walls 
observation seating this room 
will be full one day
on the rise 

[Chorus]
shoot when you see the pales of their eyes 
climbing up to meet us to take us on
place your arms back in the sockets for 
rebuilding from our losses we wont be taken 

now in the open windows smearing portrait across the view 
reset the stop-watch two days behind 
"Did I sleep through it?"
consciousness takes control semi trucks and white dotted lines car still in drive
just pull over park getting out to climb the fence 
breaks skin falling down on dead leaf covered ground much softer forgives 
than harder concrete sidewalks "I just expected more" 

[Chorus]

or did you forget "Did you forget?"
those cold hands on your face
the ones sliding down to your neck and you wont miss the pressure of feet standing on your chest 
but thats just how the body reacts when the tare is found
take notice of the trees climbing towards the hole in the sea above limbs have opened the sky
branches cartoon greeting

[Chorus x2]
