WHEN I WAS AS SMALL AS I COULD REMEMBER I HEARD HIS VOICE RANG OUT. OH JOHNNY CASH/WHAT AN INSPIRING TIME. HE SAID I'LL WALK THE LINE/HE HAD SOMEONE TO CALL HIS I'VE GOT NOBODY TO CALL MINE.
AND I WALK THE LINE//I SING ALOUD//I WALK THE LINE.
AT NINE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT IT STARTS. THE MOON IS FULL IN THE SKY AND ITS SHINE IS FULL IN MY EYE AS I CLOSE ALL MY WINDOWS AND TURN ON ALL OF MY LIGHTS. BUT THERE'S A LAMP I JUST CAN'T LIGHT.
"I'M AN ACROBAT"//MY HEAD TELLS MY BODY AS MY KNEES CONSTANTLY SHAKE.
I CAN TURN MY HEAD FROM LEFT TO RIGHT BUT EITHER WAY MY SIGHT IS STILL IN TUNNELS AND MY MIND IS DOING PUZZLES WHILE MY LEGS BEGIN TO WALK. THE ROPE EXTENDS OVER THE MOON AND I STEP OUT OF MY WINDOW. FROM THE COMFORT OF MY ROOM, PLACE MY FOOT ON THE STRING AND ALL NIGHT I JUST WALK AND SING. IF I FELL TO MY RIGHT I WOULD FALL IN THE SEA BUT IF I FELL TO MY LEFT WOULD THERE BE SOMEONE TO CATCH ME? AND IF I CHOOSE NOT TO MAKE THE WALK BECAUSE THE RISK IS TOO BIG AND I REFUSE TO TALK ABOUT MY FEAR OF THE SEA AND ITS FEAR OF ME.
THE TIGHT ROPE WALK IS ALL I'LL EVER NEED.
DAZE.
IS THERE HAPPINESS IN LIFE? IS THERE HAPPINESS IN LIES? ONE SMALL PILL COULD FIX IT ALL, ONE CONVERSATION MEND THE SCARS. ONE ROOM AT SUNSET IN THE FALL, ONE NIGHT YELLING BENEATH THE STARS. I AM HERE AND YET THE SONGS I SING I'VE LEFT IN THE PAST AGAIN AND THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT MY FUTURE HOLDS BUT THERE'S TRANSCRIBING IT ALL WITH A PEN. HERE'S TO TRANSCRIBING IT ALL WITH A PEN.
