Dimitri Mendeleev |
| I dreamed up the maps |
| Give me charcoal and the paper now |
| We invent paths they cannot see |
| And they’re too scared t' walk |
| Between my hands rests fifty-two plain old playing cards |
| And I trapped God somewhere between |
| The trump and the kind of hearts |
| Joni Mitchell said «We are stardust |
| We are golden, we are all the same» |
| Blood paints the story of our love |
| Across the bathroom floor towards the drain |
| Funny how everything just piles up, till one day |
| You can’t believe how far you came |
| I’m made of mountains, made of metal |
| Made of whiskey, and waves! |
| You won’t believe your own breath |
| When the bold words finally escape your mouth |
| Keep your secrets hidden |
| Till yer certain of just what we’ve found |
| Yeah, they bleed just like us |
| But our calling is what shapes us now |
| Won’t be held back, won’t be tied up |
| Won’t be pinned down (x4) |
| Won’t be held back |
| Won’t be — not now! |
| It came to me, as strange as it seems |
| From a simple deck of cards laid ace to kings |
| With my fingernail slipped under King Charlemagne |
| I flipped the edge and traced the grain |
| And watched it fall like a breaking wave |
| The ace of spades was last to splash |
| Trump to suicide kings, they all turned Bicycle backs |
| I stared at the pattern, a pair of seraphim flashed |
| And it just fit, elegant, «aww shit!». |
| That’s that |
| Its strange how you can waste away pained with one thing |
| The watchmaker breaks sweat, he can’t tame a dumb spring |
| Then one day its as plain as the nose above your smug grin |
| Like, «look what the cat dragged in!» |
| Woke from a dream, hands heavy in cold sweat |
| Jumped from the bed, snatched the charcoal quick |
| Sketching frantically upon the bedroom brick |
| It came together and it fit like this: |
| «Give me a lever and a place to stand, I’ll move the world» |
| You think you’re clever, but you never, seen how it really works |
