I discovered the backyard
A place where I could be alone
Render myself in reckless abandon
Sometimes I have to leave my home
Render myself in reckless abandon
I projected a tune upon him
To move my stubborn soul
He wasn’t his, he didn’t get to choose
He was my own
And I can’t hope to shake him
Til I wake and see He isn’t real
I made him up
He’s fake and I can break him
I can break him
Break it open
Break it down
Render yourself in abandon
Contiguous homes
Elephants with translucent bones
This being so close
But still being alone
AND All theSE feelings I am feeling
Are leaving me outside OF my control
It is lonely, this grieving
Don’t you know
Remember papa said he has faith in your soul
He said he’D put iron shoes on the rooster for you
He said he would open the door
BECause all the stories say
You can’t do this alone
Put the iron shoes onTO the rooster
Open the door
Rooster shoes, ROOSTER SHOES
Open doors, OPEN DOORS
One moment I explode
Then burrow down into a hole
Sew myself together again
So I can explode again
Sever myself from the seeking
Of electronic reception
Where meaning’s a tiny fraction at best
Of being together and touching
I can’t make love to a phantom
Be thrown down, shot full of capital Is and Os
So flush the cell phone down the toilet
Throw the laptop out the window
Render yourself in reckless abandon
