Man of Straw

The dawn to life

Lies shattered on the floor

And I've been told

You're not coming back no more

Your hands were bleeding

Your heart was raw

Your hopes were curved and gutted

Man of straw

Man of straw

I've been told

You won't be back

Won't be back

In the sprawl that is suburban

Lying dormant in a home

You realized your calling

In that catatonic role

Man of straw

Man of straw

I've been told

You won't be back

You've gone to be a beacon

Out in space

Formless

splashing

seeking

Homeless

in disgrace

[Every corner of my body

even my mind — pure white

shining silver

frozen]
