I THINK THE DARKNESS • IS THE MOST DIFFICULT • OR THE GRAY • THE WET GRAY DAYS • I AM REMINDED • OF THE FOG • AND THE GREAT LAKE • AS A CHILD I
CRIED • AS A CHILD I CRIED • WHEN THE WIND TAKES HER HAT • BLOWS IT DOWN THE ALLEY • I THINK THE DARKNESS • IS THE MOST DIFFICULT • OR THE GRAY
THE WET GRAY DAYS • HOW DO WE CHANGE • HOW DO WE CHANGE • THIS BREAK OF • MISBELIEF • TRANSFORMATION • CAN YOU HEAR • CAN YOU HEAR

JUST THIS • THERE'S A HOLE IN MY FLESH • JUST THIS • JUST A HOLE • JUST MISSED • WHERE MY SOUL GETS ENMESHED • AS IF IT WERE MINE • JUST THIS •
THERE'S A HOLE IN MY HEART • AND IT BLEEDS ALL THE TIME • WE'LL FIX IT • WITH AN OLD PIECE OF TWINE • WITH STITCHES AND WINE • JUST THIS • AND
WHEN THERE'S DISTANCE • ACROSS A LIFETIME • AND ALL WE KNOW IS ALL WE'VE LOST • THEN THROUGH A HARDNESS • THIS CRIME OF LIVING • WHERE
PAIN DETERMINES OUR COST • TAKE THIS • TAKE THIS OLD PIECE OF HATE • STILL FIGHTS TO SURVIVE • THEN KISS • THOUGH IT'S BLIND TO IT'S FATE • WE'LL
BURN IT ALIVE • AND WHEN THERE'S HEARTACHE • THIS PRIZE OF NO PLACE • IT STEALS YOUR BREATH AS IF YOU'D CARE • BEWARE YOUR SADNESS • IT'S NOT
A KINDNESS • THIS FATE IS ALL WE HAVE TO SHARE • JUST THIS • THERE'S A HOLE IN MY PATH • AND I STUMBLE ALL THE TIME • I'LL FIX IT • FROM AN OLD
MOUND OF DIRT • AND CARELESS DESIGN
