no more death

quit talking
about death

quit burying him
with your words

quit planning 
the demise

quite surmising
the amount
of the gains you think
will set you free

didn't you say
you were almost there

the point where money
was meaningless

quit counting on 
your fingers
and start counting on
your heart breaking

when it finally comes
to pass

you'll see black sooner
than when the dirt turns
to flower

no more counting the hours
until mansions come to view

(true)

on one hand

on one hand
is one who said
he'd understand

he didn't 

on the other hand
is a busy whirlwind
that blinds my sight

and hides what's right

in the middle
is my heart

open and uncovered
too many times

if i pull one hand away
i'll lose all hopes
of seeing the sun

if i keep one hand out
will all the shouting stop
or will it break free

if i try to keep pace
with what i think is true
is it truly me anymore

let me climb
the highest part of
the hill

wait until it's still
then push 

who knows
maybe i'll fly

(nigh)
