Run Don't Walk

The summer sun ray

shifts through a suspicious tree.

though I walk through the valley of the shadow

It sucks the air

and looks around for me.

 

The grass speaks.

I hear green chanting all day.

I will fear no evil, fear no evil

The blades extend

and reach my way.

 

The sky breaks.

It sags and breathes upon my face.

In the presence of mine enemies, mine enemies

The world is full of enemies.

There is no safe place.

~ Anne Sexton, "Noon Walk on the Asylum Lawn"

 

I wanna run through your wicked garden

Heard that's the place to find you

Cause I'm alive, so alive now

I know the darkness binds you

Can you see without eyes?

Can you speak without lies?

 

I wanna drink from your naked fountain

I can drown your sorrows

I'm gonna burn, burn you alive now

Out of the chains that bind you

 

Can you see just like a child?

Can you see just what I want?

Can I bring you back to life?

Are you scared of life?

 

Burn, burn, burn

Burn your wicked garden down

Burn, burn, burn

Burn your wicked garden to the ground

 

Can you feel pain inside?

Can you love, can you cry?
