Big Rocks

If the shores were to sink

Beneath the black, deep sea

And the palm trees were drowned

In the murkiest waters

If the sweet juice that falls from the sky

Were to weaken my bones, I'd fake a smile

And if the briar and it’s ivy were to pop all my balloons

That’s a sign from heavens for me to hide

Beneath my eyelids and disappear

For the darkness that we see when our eyes are closed

Is the void that swallows the life of the living

And sends them, while in deep slumber

To the Realm of their fear and their sadness

If the sun was to burn, and the moon was to freeze

And if there was actually life on Mars

Then I am to describe what my chest has been feeling

Since the day of the thundercloud-

A discharge from the skies

That filled me with energy and made be believe in light once again

And made feel calm with a surge of warmth

That became a searing flame that destroyed all my faith

A heavy rock was laid upon me

That I cannot seem to take off, not yesterday

Not today, not tomorrow, not ever

If the wind were to retreat

And the doldrums to compete

For the throne of my lap

Then I shall be truthful

About the way you became like a thorn in my eyes

And the tears full of blood, in incessant waves spring

Out of the center of my very soul

Because I cannot seem to be able to

Drown my carefully planned defeat

And my ego’s the beat

To which you played your grand piano

And sent me to sleep

An eternal slumber

Put a rock on my chest and threw me outboard

In this wide Sargasso sea

Why did I trust your words, why did I

Like walking on thin ice I

Have paid the price

The price, so good-bye

Because the worst of it all

Is that I do not mind

Not one bit.
