Beautiful

from Oceanside of Someday by Al Tobon

/

lyrics

The stillness of sunrise, it swallows me whole
In the kiss of the heavens and the jetty below
Sprawling plains of sapphire with a halo of blood
Painted like a mirror of the emptiness above

Called by a stranger selling onion smut
For a twenty dollar bill or ant-bites in my gut
Called by my mother, another is sick
One foot in Texas, the other a stick

Nothing is Beautiful
Nothing is Beautiful to me

The window of my bedroom is a stage for the moon
That grin of the cosmos baptized by a boon
Eyelids like hands in prayer enshroud
I'm dancing in the darkness with kaleidoscope clouds

Dreamed of the city,
It was swimming in sweat
And choking on perfume like a Pluto vignette.
Flew above its head, the dead are dancing
To a symphony of silence and sword

Something is Beautiful
Something is Beautiful to me
