"before your body goes" lyrics

"before your body goes"

Taking time to be
A small person
Still the same boy bent up
The ocean's my chorus
Our love lays before us
I'm twisted not useless...

So I gotta face the page
Instead of cracked ribs on the pavement
This retaliation's ignorant at best
And it's no wonder why I can't see
The poetry in anything
I'm a vessel for my own uncertainty

Ugliness swallows
And shrieks like a crow
While beauty fades out
Of the bay window
God damn your ego's gotta die
A thousand times
Before your body goes...
