Away

There's a scar on your right arm that tells a story Of a miscalculated movement long ago It's the reason you now claim your territory The way a mountain tries to hold it's snow In a movie I swore I heard your voice behind me It was all I could do to keep from turning round I just sat there and let the flickering light define me Just another pale face that's floating in space Who'd forgo the charms of the whole human race If I could change the alphabet inside you And make it spell something you'd understand But there's all these other signs trying to guide you They're flashing affirmations on demand Away with those demons and devils and pain Away with the days til I see you again Away with this garbage that passes for art Away with the stone that has grown in your heart The wind that gathers in the trees around you Makes a mess of crazy tangles in your hair And there's all these other signs trying to guide you Like a broken street light, that's flashing all night It goes on again off again off again on again Away with the hours that keep you in bed Away with revisions you make in your head Away with the trouble that brews in your stars Away with the worries that know where you are
