You Are Here

My mother told me of my first word I asked for more and haven't stopped since I'll use each muscle of my body 'Til all my bones shatter or splint You are here A spider's spinning in the corner The fire won't start if there's no flint When there's nothing behind, there's only forward So settle down for the next stint You are here And so am I I've made amends with the old me And slit his throat with a receipt Of all the wrongs and the reasons Then sat him down on his plane seat You are here and so am I So come for a moment and stay for a while You are here and so am I So come for a moment and stay for a while (Mother told me of my first word) (I asked for more and haven't stopped since)
