lyrics

How come your smile is
So hard to bear?
I see it in my future
As I go to bed

How come you're here and there
And everywhere I go?
A damned Cheshire cat
Inside my mental home

The whole
Concept of time
Crumbles before
Two parted pieces of flesh

You
Disdain your body
You claim it shackles your soul
Well it's freeing mine

You
Want to be a shapeless comet
Thinking through the fabric of time
But where would be your smile?

I am human
So are you
All I can do
Is ask you to join me

And try to explore
These weird bodies
Where we are trapped on
Infinite minds in a cell the size of a bathtub

So will you be a
Prisoner with me?
Our words will mingle
Like butterflies

They will fly
Through the iron
Bars of our mortal shells
Words don't fly far, but you hear that which I cannot tell

John C. Blackthorn Lisbon, Portugal

A songwriter trying to make music without getting lost on that which is superfluous.

A pity I'm always lost
