Shards of fright

You are still getting in my way
You are still getting in my way
You are still getting in my way
You fell in the light and absorbed 

You are still getting in my way
You are still getting in my way
You fell in the light and absorbed
And changed the energy 

You are still getting in my way
You fell in the light and absorbed
And changed the energy
And brought shade to the sunny ride

You fell in the light and absorbed
And changed the energy 
And brought shade to the sunny ride
And got in my way

Numbness that you held above me like a sieve
Exhales and takes in the dust of paradise
Trampled in broken shoes and greasy spit
Forwarding my mind to listen deeper

Comparing my mind with a mind that listened deeper
Trailing the arcs of balls
White balls
Against a black field 

Perhaps it's not necessary to keep track
Perhaps it's just a necessary evil
Perhaps it all about the way we stack
Our wads and piles and moats and coats 

Our silver heralded plates and chalices
Our piles of brick and wood
And piles of gemstones periwinkle rose and white
In sublime misunderstanding overcoming the shards of fright
