Ceiling Height

"Ceiling Height"
2011

A gentle rose in screaming sun,
Leaning in to kiss the light
But the modern clock's a clever one,
Leaving day without time to fight
But as darkness came she proudly stood
Beautiful and motionless
For it's said still waters often run
Deeper than the ocean is
But then she turned to me and said...
You're so wrong for being right
But my state of mind is ceiling height
And I won't come down until I feel
Your razor tongue will let me heal
And you're so wrong for bleeding me
When other souls are needing me
Now my wound's beyond repair
And you seem beyond a care
So there I stood with open mouth
As she looked down her nose at me
From a point of view I never had
You know how the ground can be
But I reached up to grab her feet
Then she kicked my hand away
Because she saw I'd never change
And thought it best to fly not stay
So she opened up the window, and I heard her say...
You're so wrong for being right
But my state of mind is ceiling height
And I won't come down until I feel
Your razor tongue will let me heal
And you're so wrong for bleeding me
When other souls are needing me
Now my wound's beyond repair
And you seem beyond a care
And as a bridge began to burn
The ashes swirled and filled the air
It seems like she had finally learned
To release her thoughts of pure despair
Because biting on your bottom lip
Will only keep the words at bay
When darling what you have to do
Is just say whatever you will say
And I will have no other choice
But to learn I had to let you go
Because there was a better side of me
That I never had the heart to show
So I'll bury it along with pain
And pretend like I don't care at all
But I'll choose to sit by the phone
Hoping that she'll choose to call
'Cause there's an open hole inside my life,
That I will never truly fill
But her last words echoed in my ears
Through a window open still
Like when she turned to me and said...
You're so wrong for being right
But my state of mind is ceiling height
And I won't come down until I feel
Your razor tongue will let me heal
And you're so wrong for bleeding me
When other souls are needing me
Now my wound's beyond repair
And you seem beyond a care
So now I hit my knees in shame
Like one seeking penance does
And I think, Lord if she only knew,
Just how wrong she was...
