A Glimpse Through the Hole In Me

I glimpsed the world Through a hole in me And what I saw I didn’t want to see I faltered And tumbled Tripped Then stumbled And the world It rolled right over Me I glimpsed love Through a hole in my heart And what I saw Gave me a start Passion And pain When it was gone A stain And love It ripped me Apart And through a crack in the earth That sucked me down I glimpsed myself disappear Without any sound And through the crack in my heart My blood poured out And I followed it down Without any doubt And when I woke up it was all still there Right in this face that im destined to wear I glimpse the world On a movie screen But it flickered and faded With the end unseen And in the static I saw myself Sitting dusty On a shelf And behind The screen was green I glimpsed love As it poured down my face As I desperately tried To shove it back in place Hammer and nail Needle and thread As I tried to mend All that had bled But my heart evaporated Without a trace And through a crack in the earth That sucked me down I glimpsed myself disappear Without any sound And through the crack in my heart My blood poured out And I followed it down Without any doubt And when I woke up it was all still there Right in this face that im destined to wear
