RINGWORMS
w/m antonio echeverria
9/28/98
You know, I never should've easily let all those fears rule me
and now I'm never gonna know the sweet things that only then could be
I never shoulda looked at the ground, when she smiled like the sky
and I'm never gonna NOT say what I know must be said in time.
I never should have made it all into such a big deal,
and now I'm never gonna find out if she'd make a happy ending real
I never shoulda wanted the screen in my head, when life is the stage
and I'm never gonna NOT take hold of that quickly passing day
never, ever do that again!
I tear the blood-red pages like veins from my mind
with tangled hair and bungled dreams that might have been.
All my wasted ways of watching safely
never even let me see the sunrise then,
when thoughts of loved once not, thick coal clouds over my
eyes anchored deep in sunken trenches, fill again.
Swallowing my tale of “This way, ALWAYS!”
Twisting down the head to be where I have been,
Blinded in the darkness of my every good reason
Come around and miss it again
Blinded in the darkness through the groove of ease and
Crawl around until you meet the end
Oh God, I never shoulda slept away all those days of youth
and now I'm never gonna see the young loves I always needed to
I never shoulda kept to the earth, when I dreamed of the stars,
and I'm never gonna not be that I know this could all end tomorrow
