About Me


Throw out your breadcrumbs, leave the radio on the stairs
Strike out into darkness with hotel bible, say your prayers
There may be glimpses of light shining through the branches
The earth may move to keep us still
Cuz all of our hearts, all of our good friends
Have eaten so many crayons that the colors dribble down their chins
It’s time to smash the lightbulb, popping sound of swift decision
The filament leaves another trace
Come shatter me
The wolfman’s barking at the door
Come shatter me
We’ll pick up the pieces off the floor
The light
The dust
Surrounds us
The si
Lence loud after
All this
Take my
Red glow
And
Hang our lanterns above the broken glass
Turn on the projector, let the images loom above you
Try to cut the heart of the hero that becomes you
But when you strike the dagger, you scatter only light and particles
As the reel whispers on
Now black and white, now colors everywhere
Take so many chemicals that all you can do is sit and stare
It’s time to read the map, but the lines are bleeding off the pages
Blood is blood and red is red
Come shatter me
The wolfman’s barking at the door
Come shatter me
We’ll pick up the pieces off the floor
The light
The dust
Surrounds us
The si
Lence loud after
All this
Take my
Red glow
And
Shatter
