Bishop, CA

Water running through
Carving out your wounds
Like a sculpture
Like a diamond in the rough
Aged hard and tough
Unharmed by the vultures
He was built of landscape
And I was a part of the sea
And though we may be different
Between us there's still a thousand miles of beach
The ruler of the mountains
Every stone is yours to keep
Turning oceans into lakes
Then to fountains
Then to aches
As the ghost of you's ascending forth
Though it's spirit hangs beneath you
The grass grows greener in your reach
But heaven shan't impeach you
So don't let them beseech you to go up and leave

Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain
Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain
Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain
Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain

Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain
Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain
Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain
Let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain, let's just watch the rain

Now you paint the clouds, now you build the peaks
Settle down with the trees
Language of the roots, tongues of the sea
Let them be the words that you speak
You say
Let's give him a prayer, add another layer onto your grief
But your god knows he ain't listening, for the river water's glistening
Like the sparkle in his eye

Splitting at the seams, annex it
It's just the screams of machines
The brush strokes of your figure
Paint with artistry and vigor
Flaunt flaws like your feathered wings
Schadenfreude from your mind's eye
Builds itself a zeitgeist
Of a false life armed now with a dull knife
But now may heaven reach you
And no one's there to leach you
I hope its what you wanted love
From the driest lonely deserts
To Bishop, California
To the cold misty peaks
A journey of your ribcage
With your heart buried deep underneath
