Promised Land |
You’re taking up lots of space |
Your shit is everywhere |
Your breath is all up in my face |
Your hands are swarming in the air |
You’re the first one out the car and then |
You’re the loudest one in the bar |
Tell me, is there something wrong, girlfriend? |
What’s with this new version of who you are? |
So she lifts her chin and squints at me |
To assess what I think I know |
She says, my heart has some dangerous neighborhoods |
So beware where you try to go |
They say that the truth will set you free |
But then so will a lie |
It depends if you’re trying to get to the promised land |
Or you’re just trying to get by |
What is a camera but a box of light? |
What is a guitar but a box of sound? |
You think I don’t understand |
But I think I might |
What it is to harness the emptiness |
And just ride it around |
And maybe your chest is an empty shell |
With ribs of spiraling coral |
Where a perfect pearl of sadness resides |
But if you ever need an ear |
I could just come and press it here |
Listen to the sound of the ocean inside |
