Faculty - At This Time

I threw a jar of my poetry sealed into the South China Sea
All I expected was a broken neck when I mentioned I would dine for free
You headed east while I dragged me west maybe one day we'll say for the best
And though I retreat from any given test I hope you'll stick around for the rest

I hate myself for balding slow after all this time to grow
Maybe in Holland where the ceilings are low you could take me out for a show
An exhibition of a later Van Gogh reminiscent of your pale glow
You wind me up like a rotary phone when we're together and when we're alone

I wanted somebody
Like you to show me
But heaven knows me

That I'm still living a lie at this time
That I still haven't regained my mind

Sit in your house and I'm becoming a moth when you put me between your arms
Little is much when a little of thought let's me sleep straight through alarms
You sit in my room in the late afternoon where the lights of our histories align
It's something I'll do without asking you why cause I know you know the grand design

There is nobody
Who would take from me
What you know of me

That I'm still living a lie at this time
That I still haven't regained my mind
That I am cautious and you are kind
Enough to stay around and find
That I'm still living a lie at this time
