Sea of Strangers

There a was a stranger in his own body

How alone he felt, how long his heart beats
Made his devil his best man and his best man a devil
He cried for the ocean he once bathed
Reached into the waters and grabbed rose
Held it to his face and looked up at the sky
He cries for the ocean he once bathed
Now a red sea unparsed
He broke his mirrors and dearly departs

There was a storm brewing in his heart

And in his mind, all the time he knew it
To be true, but how to outrun what’s within you?
So he chiseled his way through some stones
Made love on a beach and called it his home
But the rain it did come down, as it often does
This only made the man remember his love
And how it left him so, so a lone, a dial but no phone
He’d storm these walls if it meant conquering the ocean home

There was others watching, some with tickets

To his show, while others listen but dare not go
He is a mountain in the water, in all of our waters
His sail torn by the wind, his jeans worn thin
With the kittens in the allies singing to the moon
Let him free, oh let him free, and let him come to me
But he can't hear anything but this ringing in his ears
Like a clown in a rowboat with but a single fear
He rolls in circles, in cycles, trying to flee
Heading for the storm he says, "I need to find me"

All ballets of the crickets were well received

Cinderella never showed face again, she's a pumpkin queen
Orange makeup from her solar plexus to her sweet
I love the way you make me feel, she said,
But it's too much for me to breathe
So when the moon claimed the sun
The only rhythm had come undone
Now the tempo slows
And his love does flow
From a distorted artery
Into the sea ~
