Oh, to be not anyone
Gone
This maze of being skin
ย
Oh-ooh, to cry not any cry
So, mournful that
The dove just laughs
And the steadfast gasps
Oh-ooh, to owe not anyone nothing
To be not here but here
Forsaking equatorial bliss
Who walked through the callow mist
Dressed in scraps
Who walked, the curve of the world
ย
Whose bone scraped
Whose flesh unfurled
Who grieves not
Anyone gone
To greet lame
The inspired sky amazed to stumble
Where gods get lost
Beneath the southern cross
ย
Amazed to stumble
Where gods get lost
Beneath the southern cross
ย
Cross over, cross over-board
