Someplace Else

Is there someplace else?
I need to talk to you.
Away from these people.
Away from this madness.
I know you don’t want to leave
And you’re having great fun,
but I really need you right now
You could lend an ear
You could save the day
That’s only if you give a damn
about giving a damn
For someone else
Is there someplace else?
someplace we could go
As long as you stay
Let it be, let it be
I can’t make you be
somewhere you don’t wanna see
I see you & how you see me
Crystal clear now.
Old folks say my daddy
must be made of glass.
I’m in everyone’s way.
Now I see everyone’s ways.
A native son grows
Into an invisible man.
Ellie’s son was wright.
There is someplace else.
A place more suitable.
Resting in a hollow
chamber of solitude
a single reminder
lit from lightning’s fire
creates s p  a   c    e  between my flickering

thoughts

freeing my mind
freeing me
losing my grip
the thunder
was the last thing
that I could hold onto
