Blameless (The Floating Face)

Blameless(The Floating Face) - Mike Keneally

Blameless are you

Blame me

Carving a face in a tree

A bolt from above

And at this point my face became me

I am the floating face

The children throw baseballs at me

The experts determined

I'm six feet wide

And my tears could fill the sea

Last week I floated by your house

My nostrils flared with unrequited love

But I'm scared for you to see

All that's become of me

If there is a God

There's no skin on his face

A fiendish skull that rains terror on me

I am the floating face

Without redeeming grace

Don't gloat in your rat race

Don't laugh at my fat face

Then God said Just you hold on

This was not some callous feat of mine

Your fate was predetermined in

Another space and time

And Face said My apologies

And both had ginseng tea

What happened next remains perplexing

To a man that's me
