Mt. Eerie

Your legs walked your heart high

Your whole body is sprawling out.

Major view, wide.

I'm on a boulder over alpine tops

On peaking, I watched you cross the water

In my eye, your greys and blues were blonde.

Something that I held onto is leaving,

The shape to what I saw has slowly died,

("You're higher on your hill

So your black cloud will come,

So your black cloud will come,

And press you to the ground,

The air will leave your chest

Your faith and where you're found,

You're finally standing still

And your fingers all go numb,

Get higher on your hill

So your big black cloud will come

Your big black cloud will come")

See what happens?

Do you see what happens,

When big black death breathes on you with his breath?

I'm wild and woolly and a bloating bully,

I'll strike you down and then,

I'll strike you down again

Do you see what happens?

Do you see what happens

when I peel away your bark,

And stain your blue sky dark?

Your breath I take to live,

Your death I ache to give

So take it in and crumble,

Be smothered in my rumble,

A flash!

And thunder booms!

Our lack of wonder looms,

I'll press you to the ground,

Your fate from where you're found,

The way they share,

(The flesh we tear

So innocent of memory)

They feast,

We invite,

Each bite into our flight

Since we give our blood now into you

And feathers from skin begin.

I am the twilight on the porch

And he follows you,

(I began the falling.

Your hands gripping the table cloth.

Your eyes, only three years old)

The way they share

The memory you did wear

And now your song is inside them.
