Lighting Crashes - Live
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door
lightning crashes, an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now, to the baby down the hall
oh now feel it comin’ back again
like a rollin’ thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin’ from the center of the earth again
I can feel it.
lightning crashes, a new mother cries
this moment she’s been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,
presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide, hide
I found it surreal… listening to this song on my drive home after a restless night of watching over my wife… like some freakish song meant to torture expecting parents, it reverberated in my mind long after the song had already ended… like some cockroach stuck on a wall after you pounded it with the heel of your shoe…
