Opened And Spent

The air was all dust, the night so untamed

The ground opened up and swallowed all of the rain

It swallowed you too into greatness unknown

They sat down at dinner and waited for you to get home

They set a place for you so don't believe everything that you read in that diary of yours

And this nervousness isn't all your fault

These shaky hands won't do what I want them to

And I tried to guess what it is you thought

About the lack of compassion that breathes through the holes in my skin

What are you crying for? Just dust my heart and you will find no fingers printed there

The untouched place that lies inside of every lonely boy tonight

And this opened air has caused me to choke

On your new found hope in me
