bad history month - a small life lyrics
living a small life
lost and afraid
in a safe
familiar place
it’s boring here
but when the world
graciously offers to change
i hope it stays the same
spending the daylight dreading the setting sun
because i slept too late
and the nights dreading the coming light
because the dark feels safe
reading an old book
i walked through an ancient house
alone
pleasantly surprised
by my own familiar face
sketched in dust
on an empty mirror
by a long gone hand
i laughed
and
disappeared…
suddenly bursting from the earth
calmly inhaling the fresh night air
in a dimly lit graveyard
walking out into the world
covered in dirt, feeling clean
being guided by the light of a long+dead star
feeling grateful for my leisurely chores
at ease
enjoying life at the grocery store
floating just above the heat of the crowd
untouched but still attached
both feet on the ground
a balloon bouncing across the ceiling…
dragged by my three year old hand
affording a comfortable feeling
everything according to plan
then it hit the light
and i heard the sound of a bubble bursting
and i hit the ground
age 9, a mel gibson fan, screaming “freedom!”
at the top of my lungs
jumping off a high dive
and then age 25, saying
“yeah, but what’s freedom mean without risk?”
locked in a safe…
(chickenheart.)
