Written by Joe Summers

 

I used to be able to see the green on other side of it all

Living under a darkened star

I used to be able to cut a mile in a minute

But now my dog legs are broke down and bent.

 

Falling green; it cuts an aging shape around me

Dreams of youth, of fire and will

They’ve grown dense and wasteful

Because they don’t look to you.

 

I used to move like a half moon

Thin and quick to the cut

Now I sit fat and brazen in the rush

Drunken on the nearness to you.

 

Love lives like a broken bone

You must break it to feel it

Well now you’ve broken it

And now I feel it
