VIEW FROM OUR BEDROOM WINDOW |
| You are sleeping in the room alone now |
| You are restless in the night |
| When the lightning from the storm strikes, you shine |
| For a second in the light |
| I wait |
| For a moment when the weather breaks |
| I can feel you in the mattress shake |
| I can see the way an old pain holds you |
| Morning falling in the frame |
| You stay down |
| I faced my failure in no way I escaped it |
| In the calm before a breakdown takes |
| Like a rapture in the night |
| You fight hard |
| I faced my own pain in no way I embraced it |
| In the bedroom with the door locked tight |
| Like a coward when the flash burns bright I’ll hide |
| Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame |
| Lighting the path away |
| Brighter than lightning and burning |
| Striking the ground |
| We spend summers awake |
| We shake at shadow shapes |
| The wind it rattles our chains |
| We’re always turning around |
| You were standing in the doorway |
| You were staring in the flames |
| How the fire from the house next door mixed |
| With the colors from the cop cars |
| I saw |
| Neighbors gathered in the alleyway |
| In the summer in the heat |
| I wait for a way that I can chase your pain out |
| Gather water for the flames |
| I wait |
| Nights we both shook |
| Any noise echoed in our room |
| Rattled on the floor like shells scattering |
| Or like hail falling on the hood of our car |
| Do you remember that drive south? |
| Coastbound just us two |
| Savannah west in the mirror |
| And winter in rearview burning |
| How the storm fell so harshly we felt swallowed |
| And traffic stopped before and behind us |
| Hard rain in sheets grey and unbroken |
| Hazards flashed dimly in all directions |
| Like small satellites or like lighthouse beacons |
| We turned the radio off |
| I gripped the wheel tight |
| When the storm burst and clouds split suddenly open to the sky |
| All colors at once and us dumbstruck with love and terror both |
| As if before us stood temples ancient and terrifying |
| The light refracting truth to see death and life in all things |
| Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame |
| I was the last to change |
| Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down |
| Your hands burnt on the torch’s flame |
| I was the last to change |
| Strike me like a lightning bolt and burning me down |
| The wind rattles our chains |
| We shake our fists at the pain |
| We shake at shadow shapes |
| We cup our hands in the storm |
| And watch our houses burning |
| We catch the rain to fight it |
