lyrics

Your Face (by Ross Bellenoit)

your face is a sketch that i once drew in lines
that scattered apart when i tried to refine
the details that made up the portion of you
that seemed to consistently evade my view

your eyes are a blur that fill up a big screen
a shadowy trace of a ghost i have seen
it screams in my ear with it's pupils of red
demanding the colors it seemed to have bled

your mouth is a sacred and unholy priest
that calls for redemption while tugging my fleece
you always remember the spots where i bend
and fall to my knees when you try to offend

your chin is a home for a sucker and bib
it collects it's trophies and calls it's own dibs
on men who keep switching the hair on their heads
enough to allow you to sleep in their beds

my arm is dismembered from holding you high
so much that i thought that for once i could fly
but now i am grounded amongst the betweens
of what's left in store and of what i have seen

your body is buried beneath a veneer
of water and smoke that will soon disappear
i'm letting you float into glamorous view
for now it's really the most i can do

(September, 2010)
