a ripple

lyrics

there's a chunk of life that's outside both my hands
a sort of accident I can't exactly understand
but where you go, there's ripples
thru the sky and land in my heart

a bullet list of all your life demands
got lost in a planner somewhere in between here and Japan
I can't retrieve it but by a circumstance
I can help you put some x's in the o's

i know it's your universe and it's your life
born with butcher hands and then one day you find a knife
and so we separate our muscle and bone
risk the kill to figure out what triggers the flow

dying animals
iridescent chemicals
swirling and colliding on a night in June
swaying to phases of the moon

perhaps we have only just been aged five years
to consume each other gradually and casually assuage our fears
with a meaty red and pleasant company to down the tears
the art of getting good at letting go

or maybe the universe designed this thing
the special reason why we cannot help but wondering
what life might look like for you and me not settling
but somehow still holding one another till we're old gray

dying animals
iridescent chemicals
swirling and colliding on a night in June
swaying to phases of the moon

bright, bright, but swiftly darkening
sparkling
sailing for a distant shore

there's a chunk of life that's outside both our hands
some sort of cosmic gravity we can't exactly understand
but where you go, there's ripples
thru the sky and land in my heart
