SUNDAY PRAYER, ccxc
time & time again
i am a ghost dressed as a man
i am a worm dressed up for a funeral
i am tear gas dressed up as a miracle
i am a bull dressed up as a sword
i am a lost dog dressed up as a reward
i am lightning dressed as a cloud
i am thousands of people dressed up as a town
i am wall street dressed up as mainstreet
dressed as a daydream where the dead break free
where the ghouls crawl out from under our beds
as demons leak from the loose screws in our heads
where reality is a tall tale
where halloween simply draws the veil
and scales the walls to watch together as family
from the balcony the comedy of society
i am i am i am
but you are a birthday
deep with the dayshine
from dusk to moonbreak
the dust of keepsakes
time & time again, i am i am
