Bye bye to broken trees that kept me from the storm
Branches safe and warm
Goodbye to leaves and sky
Bye bye to solid stones that pressed me to the ground
It was there I heard the sound
I thought the earth was burning, I
Started pushing through the trees and
Through the sticky arms of reason
When all this time I knew I needed something
Goodbye it’s time to go and touch the fire from down below
I see the red door opening now follow follow
Goodbye no time to cry no time to think or wonder why
I see the red door opening now follow follow
Bye bye to baby birds who sang to me in breeze
You taught me what was feasible
Between the earth and sky
Singing to me as I slept upon the forest floor
It was there I found a door
Beneath the gold pine needles, I
Started burning with a fever
Shaking like a true believer
When all this time I knew I needed something
Goodbye it’s time to go and touch the fire from down below
I see the red door opening now follow follow
Goodbye no time to cry no think or wonder why
I see the red door opening now follow follow
My friend we meet again
It’s no beginning nor the end
It’s just a step outside of everything that matters
One step outside of the home
Into the middle of the bone
Where all reddest blood is grown and splattered splattered
Push through all the trees don’t never listen what they say
You know they’ll hate you anyway
And yet their day is coming
Tip tap the fire until it rises like a plume
Then you’ll feel the tongues consume
Just like you’re running running
Spinning fast I wasn’t only
Burning up among the lonely
When all this time I knew I needed something
Goodbye it’s time to go and touch the fire from down below
I see the red door opening now follow follow
Goodbye no time to cry no time to think or wonder why
I see the red door opening now follow follow

42 years in a place where nothing shines
63 years in a world where nothing’s mine
I crawl; I beg
There’s a face up on the wall but he does not return my call.
Tell me God, what did I do wrong? I did everything you said
I organized my sock drawer and poured shit upon my head
Please don’t make me be the person to remind you
Please do not forget the people who defined you.
Everybody told me that someday I would see
You were just a taker; you took all your gold from me
Still I scraped myself on your stone
Threw my body on your altar and begged you to take me home.
Tell me God, what did I do wrong after 40 years of pain?
I cut myself so badly that my blood poured down like rain
Please don’t make me be the person to remind you
You should not forget the people who defined you.
You are a diamond in a world where nothing shines.
You’re my friend within a place where nothing’s mine.
I walked through the bright red door you opened up for me
Lay my heart upon my eyes; I did not want to see
The hell I paved in gold
Everything that I destroyed and everything I sold.
Tell me God, what did I do wrong? I was there for you each night
I bore the nails into my fists; I held the screams in tight
Must I really be the person to remind you?
You did not exist until the day that we defined you.
