Palm Full of Tears
Mending a wild bird’s broken wing, then setting it free to fly again. / Dust collects on the shelves in the house of memory / An unexplainable clinging to an old pair of shoes / These are the times I seem to recycle over and over again / Allowing them as if I had control to tumble onto paper with graphite / Lifelong journies for Technicolor vapors / Did you feel that? Yes I felt it too / A microcosm of an unthinkable thing / The times things just simply are / Shed childhood teeth sit rotting in 500-year-old jewel boxes / All over the world people are living / With a 60-watt burned-out heart and a palm full of tears / Still standing firm hoping that metamorphosis is near / Delirium-induced confidence in myself and mankind / I’d stay to tell you all about it if I only had the time / You see I gotta get to nowhere and I’m running a little behind / But I promise if I’m ever in the area to drop you a line.
