We're All Alive

from Yart Sale EP by Katie Dill

/

lyrics

dreams are flying to
heads on pillows on beads on
mattresses have threads and springs and glue
they bend and bow and
form a hole when they are (old)
old's becoming new
it grows in cycles like dirty icicles
that drip when spring is due
and latch on gutters and crash on little
flowers pushing through
the lightest dusting of white snow resting on
brown grass understood
why the sun takes his color up all the
time is slow to tell
it's faultless faceless in aging ages
(age is) a wrinkle on your brow
children don't know that skin's not forever like
love is all you need
not food or water, warmth or
shelter keeps you out of summer rain
that cools the swelter so the heat cant melt her in your arms
she's there for good
her skin is growing into yours
you're joining at the pores
now you're the same
there's no one clawing at the door
you're dry from the rain is all outside
outside your lips
outside your kiss
and it is bliss and then you die
but your children's babies will build you cities
and your eyes become the night
you're a star in darkness
watching love and likeness in the faces far and wide
you're the Great Grand Greatness of a hundred ages
and they all have got your nose
and some your ears and lips
and some your tears but they'll be fine
they'll learn to grow
just like you did in the rain when love made you alive.

alive
alive
alive
we're all alive
alive
alive
alive
we're all alive
alive
alive
alive
we're all alive
alive
alive
alive
