Paper Wings

lift it up
as far as you can.
charles atlas was a common man.
make a promise.
but if you do. i'll be watching you.
i am nearly there.

i'm a friend i'm a distant cousin
i'll be drunk at your wedding reception.
she's so practical for the use of deception.
i don't know if she's here or there.
she's a blessing disguised as a bombing scare.

but if i'm fixing a hole.
my heart cant stop bleeding into my soul.
wired for sound all intense.
make a show for the ladies and gents.

they all go for the cheap show.
before the elegiac evening glow
they get the ticket they take the ride.
but i'm not on their side.
i cannot repent.
