The Body Descends

The body descends, I should have let it
The strongest love I’ve felt in my life
She says, "I was born into this life to suffer
And suffer I will
But if you had to do it all again
Without knowing you'd make it through
Do you think you'd make it?
No, I don't think I would"

My heart is the leaves, my body the trees
And it's Halloween, 2008
I'm strung out again, my body descends
And I’m having this dream, every night
A room with a view, a room with some light
A stoic front porch, some mountains outside

I am what I'm not, my problems are god's
When the body descends, we both sit and watch
And the strongest love I've felt in my life
Rises up from the dark to pull me aside
And across the room, and out in the hall
And outside my house, and out in the yard
