I used to find it amusing
But not anymore, no
no, no, no
I hadn’t laughed like that in a long time
where it came up from the bottom of my soul
and out through my eyes
just came right out, no stopping it
I used to find it confusing
so I would black out instead
just so perplexing, you see,
how could this happen?
How could any one person
destroy what this village built?
But then I checked the map again
Certainly, this must be all wrong –
The village had burned down years ago
Oh, if those walls
could share their story
you would have set yourself on fire, too
I used to find it comforting,
but not anymore, you know,
Not really.
