Sacrifice
Would you do penance for a lost soul?
I have a heart that beats cold as ice
Cut you sharply to the quick
Take your breath away in that instant
She sees your gaze slyly go astray
I long for that connection reflection
A heart that beats those weathered conga drums down
Dance to the beat of just about any drummer
Premiere my lovely self in bright, blazing summer colors
Oh, those years of giving it all away
Never once a thought of myself
Like a bird flying high amid deep blue cloudy skies
Taking crumbs from your bloody, battered beak
See through the weary eyes of my troubled soul
Inside I have nothing, nada, nil
It was hammered out of me from an early age on
Till I had nothing but the bridge of a ragged tortoise shell
You walk in my life like you can change the world
Bending every interconnected structure of my brain
Go ahead, big boy, why don’t you give it a twirl
I’ll cha cha you right out of the dance floor
I want a different story, a brand new tune
Let’s start at the end, and find the beginning
Create a thundering symphony of beautiful noise
Finally clashing and clanging at the end of the line
Show me what you’ve got
Give it your best shot
Tame the bellowing beast inside
That crudely screams your name and hides
Can you break the ice that courses through my veins
Stop the bleed, spare my heart once or twice
Is it possible at this late stage of the darkest night
To become the savior you always wanted me to be
Can you see through the murky masks that hide my face
See the truth that hides like a monster lurking inside
Can you unbreak this heart of stone with your flaming sword
Rise up, take your toys, seek shelter from St. Elmo’s storm
