About Me

"The rain it started tapping on the window near my bed There was a loophole in my dreaming so I got out of it And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open Just my night stand and my dresser Where those nightmares had just been So I dressed myself and left then out into the gray streets But everything seemed different and completely new to me The sky, the trees, houses, buildings, even my own body And each person I encountered I couldn't wait to meetThen I came upon a doctor who appeared in quite poor health I said there is nothing that I can do for you That you can't do for yourself He said oh yes you can, just hold my hand I think that that would help So I sat with him awhile then I asked him how he feltHe said I think I'm cured No, in fact I'm sure of it Thank you stranger, for your therapeutic smileSo that's how I learned the lesson that everyone's alone And your eyes must do some raining if you're ever gonna grow But when crying don't help, you can't compose yourself It's best to compose a poem An honest verse of longing or a simple song of hopeThat's why I'm singing baby don't worry, cause now I got you back And every time you feel like crying you know I'll try and make you laugh But if I can't, if it just hurts too bad, then we'll wait for it to pass And I will keep you company through those days so long and blackAnd we'll keep working on the problem we know we'll never solve Of love's uneven remainders, our lives are fractions of a whole But if the world could remain within a frame like a painting on a wall Then I think we'd see the beauty there and stand staring in aweAt our still lives posed Like a bowl of oranges Like a story told by the fault lines and the soil..." ---BRIGHT EYES.
