Zebra - Matt Duke
Something hides in the well of water in the old church
My mind is faltering between the altar and the rebirth
A silver thread of light touches a nonbeliever.
I am the very thing burning hotter than a fever.
One with the stars in the night and a drop in the ocean
All that is wrong is alright. But I am afraid to die.
There's a wailing woman and she's wandering the hallway.
Every scream like a dagger unsheathed from years of guilt and shame.
But my love burns brighter than the sun we share.
Self mutilation into a constellation of ash into the air.
And I'm one with the stars in the night
I'm a drop in the ocean
I need to make it alright
I could run to the light, but I am afraid to die.
Hear the woman wild and she's tearing at the door frame
exsanguinated and devoid
Kinetic phonetic separate body from spirit feet from the floor.
But I want to wake up, I don't want to hear her screaming anymore.
I was a star in the night, like a drop in the ocean.
All that was wrong's in my mind. Past for time.
I could run to the light, but I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
I am afraid to die.
