So when we die, we see it all. | 1 |
From a heavenly seat | 2 |
From high up we see people move | 3 |
So high up that you see the remains of discarded thoughts. | 4 |
I find people paying taxes and spanking their children. | 5 |
I hear others think about quitting smoking and banging their sisters. | 6 |
I see and I hear people living out their lives, | 7 |
Until I see a man, on his knees, feeling guilt. | 8 |
I find him next to a man faced down, in a puddle of beer. | 9 |
I hear him thinking why and I can't believe... | 10 |
I look at the fallen man, his head cut open, | 11 |
I look at the other, beer in his breath, | 12 |
And under his knees, a broken bottle. | 13 |
The lying man had a familiar scar across his face. | 14 |
I put my hand on my own face | 15 |
And followed the scar with my finger | 16 |
Until it ran into a deep cut. | 17 |
