Souvenirs - Midnight Movies

I once gave pieces from a shattered heart that kept falling

Until it fell apart into tokens.

Souvenirs

I bid you farewell with…

Imagining they were yours

In their place grew bombs like a pressure mine

Like a filter built into the rind

Cause after all no one has ventured beyond

And what’s beyond belongs to only one

He’s waiting patiently inside the rind to see what he’ll find

Like a stubborn little baby boy

At times it seems as if he’s got me by the hand

Pulling me along more sure than I am

So determined, so sure what he will find

And we’re running like children

I’m trying to keep up, don’t let go

Like children.

Like children

Our footsteps begin to draw away

Like pulling to and from ourselves as we evolve

We warp and swell and bend.

I don’t wait to recoil

When we get there, we’re big, every time

Like children

Like children

Like children

Like children

Where’d you go?

Where are you?

Endless prints in the dust

Come back

Stay

Wait up and walk with me a ways

Farewell for now
