The Dismemberment Plan Face Of The Earth A crazy wail, A funny shutter of a bad magnetic event, A ghost ran through is, Moving Like a shadow on the ground... I wasn't sure, I thought that something happened but I Didn't know what, The moment seemed to fail, And I turned my eyes back to hers.. That's When I saw, I freeze the look of pre-alert and study it still, her smile starts to loosen, her Pupils yawn wide And then she's blown... From the face of the earth There was no gust of wind, No noise, No nothing just a body jerked skyward, limbs Failing like an unloved marionette, At impossible speed, Receding away like a far away Dot...I can see her still, scream for help but no one answered... She turned end on end Like a long lost astronaut, I felt the summer air reclaim me, the chirp of a bird, the whisper Of leaves, And I was frozen... To the face of the earth I never really knew the way she lived her life, I thought that something happened but she never called back, I didn't know her family or friends at all... With no one to call, summer turned into fall, I gave up... It's been a couple years and I guess I'm fine about it, It's not like we were married It was three or four months, And nothing's really different Though it seems like I've spent My life in planes, Which is kind of strange, But I don't know....... yeah, yeah, yeah, No, no, yeah...... |
