*If*
If I do this
There'll be a lot of blood
And if
If I do it right
The blood will be dark
Almost as dark
As here
The place where I am
(the place where I've always been)
Beyond the blood
*Where*
where I do this
Has to be right
(as right as any wrong can be)
So that the rest of me
(the best of me)
Ends up here
in this place
(the place where I've always been)
Beyond the blood
Where I want to be
*Why*
Why i do this
Falls into reasons
And canyons
Beyond my control
Beyond my path
Beyond the questions
(where I've always been)
Beyond the blood
Beyond me
*How*
How I do this
Has been preordained
Spoken
A thousand times
In a thousand words
Written in my inks blood
Beyond my blood
(where I've always been)
Beyond the pain?
(please?)
*What*
What I do now
Was meant to be
Was meant to be done
And is ok
Because in this place
Where I've always been
Finally beyond the blood
Finally beyond the pain
Finally behind the words
I lie
Waiting to be reborn
Waiting to answer the questions
i cannot now even articulate
but have felt
Have felt hard
And so i will fall
(hard?
*When*
Now?
Soon.
