Marble Song

Marble Song - Ben Rosenfield

I have walked so much farther I thought

I should drink out of this afternoon talk

So I'd fall asleep before I go dark

Drinking champagne from a gold paper cup

There's this refrain that never gives up

It's in your blazing blue eyes it's enough

That pin point rage I felt growing up

I can't shake it away

I lie awake with my face to the door

I never ask you why or what for

I'm so afraid that I'll never get cured

Luck is like a marble on the stage

It waits for a big grace to fall

I breathe my name against the cool glass

I dissolve the day despise my past

Ecstatic nothing has silenced that gas

I took an oath before I turned ten

Hand over heart I became a man

Swore not to be the coward I am

That pin point rage I felt growing up

Returned with a vengeance today

Love is like a marble on the stairs

It waits for a stair to fall

Where did you acquire your magic affects

It'll take a long time to improve and effect

To dissolve and destroy when I least expect
