Shards of fright

You are still getting in my way

You are still getting in my way

You are still getting in my way

You fell in the light and absorbed 

You are still getting in my way

You are still getting in my way

You fell in the light and absorbed

And changed the energy 

You are still getting in my way

You fell in the light and absorbed

And changed the energy

And brought shade to the sunny ride

You fell in the light and absorbed

And changed the energy 

And brought shade to the sunny ride

And got in my way

Numbness that you held above me like a sieve

Exhales and takes in the dust of paradise

Trampled in broken shoes and greasy spit

Forwarding my mind to listen deeper

Comparing my mind with a mind that listened deeper

Trailing the arcs of balls

White balls

Against a black field 

Perhaps it's not necessary to keep track

Perhaps it's just a necessary evil

Perhaps it all about the way we stack

Our wads and piles and moats and coats 

Our silver heralded plates and chalices

Our piles of brick and wood

And piles of gemstones periwinkle rose and white

In sublime misunderstanding overcoming the shards of fright
