lyrics

violent thoughts wrestle with a giant loss
a spoiling frost spreads like fire when people talk
a child’s home torn down by a ringing phone
a fever with no course to run

no stars aligned, no fire from the sky
can shine a light on words that reconcile
no heart of stone will wilt under a precious poem
nothing said makes sense of what is wrong

a speech is made, a child, a grave
a flower laid, a final wave
the gesture lost: in movement overcome
=
left with naught, but finding comfort in the thought
that broken hearts are impervious to flying darts
all is known, less love laid bare to its bones:
a force no strength of will can overcome.

the misery of doubt and blame
twists happiness all-up with shame
can beating hearts undo what has been done?
=
deliver scorn on golden tongue
