Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros , Child [Official Video]
The voices in my head are shadows, shadows
She comes to me, to tell me what they're after
Says it ain't the end boy but you best be careful, careful
Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle
The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples
In flashing lights I swear she was an old film
Then the color bleeds and she becomes an angel, angel, hmm
Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel
I say come on child, and I say come on child
Says it ain't the end boy but you best be careful, careful
Might catch your tail end in a circle, circle
The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples
In flashing lights I swear she was an old film
Then the color bleeds and she becomes an angel, angel, hmm
Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel
I say come on child, and I say come on child
The blanket where she hides by virgin lights
Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike
Staring at her needs but I don't have the words right, words right now
If up to me might make her turn right, turn right
Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles
Black lovin' eyes and a stare that sees for miles
Says she wants to be, oh wants to stay a child, child now
Look to the sea where the cotton hits the turnpike
Staring at her needs but I don't have the words right, words right now
If up to me might make her turn right, turn right
Lost another one but she still smiles, smiles
Black lovin' eyes and a stare that sees for miles
Says she wants to be, oh wants to stay a child, child now
And wonders why we ever ever have to die
And I say come on child and I say come on child
Just a touch I'm gonna carry, carry
Another time where our palm shared the same line
The accent of a kiss whispers we're married, married now
It's either love or just the sun in my eyes and I say come on child
And I say come on child
Love love love love love
And I say come on child and I say come on child
Just a touch I'm gonna carry, carry
Another time where our palm shared the same line
The accent of a kiss whispers we're married, married now
It's either love or just the sun in my eyes and I say come on child
And I say come on child
Love love love love love

disintegration: staring into dark waters (last night)
disintegration
children dream into
their day and the springy
youth rises with purpose
pushing out for eternity
me i am old ,starting
to limp , shrinking in
the shade of my past,
shrivelling in my life
first i could sleep ,
all mud sieved,
my mind clear,
my soul could breathe
now i feel the ballast
of years and nights
of tears, of pain,
of tears, of pain,
i let it go, it wells up
i need disinfectants, doped
or purified with poisons,
or purified with poisons,
horrified by all delusion,
this drowsy fool cannot sleep
i told him to go,
to live, to live now,
but opening so much
all breaks into him
enters, lingers, gnaws,
destroys all illusion,
decay and loss remain.
freedom is not much fun
i must shed my very skin
like a snake, hide in strange
places, under cigarette butts,
rotting leaves , shopping bags,
in hotel beds, until i find
innocent perception, me,
near the gates of death
near the gates of death
and desire, not beauty,
but staying alive, wriggling
on the ground, among the
crowds and all alone,
crowds and all alone,
i wait for my wings
i walk to my ends
and through my beginning,
undressed, dreamless,
exhausted by futility
i am not ashamed
nor can i be understood,
at limbo, half asleep
and longing to laugh
i gave, i give it
another day and another
until all threads tear
and i can fly
leaving the cocoon,
it can remain for a while
for memory, for reflection,
a symbol of freedom,
a reminder of time
being different for each one,
i will not fly forever
but in forever now
we have in common
that we all will die,
and though love is forever
i refuse to drown
why to catch,
to keep a butterfly ,
no, open the window,
open it wide,
open it wide,
to come in or to go out,
go feed, go walk the dog ,
giving ease to his soul,
rejoice and sing
giving ease to his soul,
rejoice and sing
when he barks and bounces.
regret, anger,remorse
guilt, grudge, fears,
to be alone with the waves
is better than all this,
there is days and nights
to come for me, what
i will give to me,
departures, horizon,
wind and finally the sea,
this is the waste land
from where i came
and where i go,
it is where the
heart is born,
heart is born,
its wildness has space
now all happens
there, thorns and apples,
there, thorns and apples,
you can keep your hands
and send lost kisses through
the gaps in time and
dream, they’ll be like
bottle mails, thrown into
water to travel by chance,
and then dreams will be
too late , sacrificed to
doubt and silence,
smiles will crumble
and masks will fall,
old hurt will invent
new hurt and live
from the story, the lies
and person for person
will stand up and speak:
see this is me, this is me.
and the boats will pass.
by then the ants
will have eaten all,
courage, blood and flesh.
the small things eat big words
they bring down kingdoms
and human construction,
art and prophets, poets
and priests and lovers, all.
here i sit and wonder
how to meet destruction,
and i wish i could sleep
and wake into a soft morning
birds sing, flowers open,
i dream and do nothing,
far from thought, silent
and somehow reborn.
