If I Could

If I could I would write myself to death and cripple my self to a non-xeno image I would create a world of no end and sink to depths unending I would write a song with no descenible ending that just says I am who I am when no one knows who I am I would cripple every word I hear to define me, and I would cry for no reason at all I would light a spark and give it a cryptic name and I would sigh with every breath given to me in delight If I could I would lie and I would try to sing every verse my heart demands of me and still I would cry if no one cries along with me And if my brother says to me in fear that history bears no truth... I would sing and cry along I would sing and cry in sync for no truth bears a better strength than my brother singing and crying along
