Flesh Wound

from Why Birds Fly by JOHN COMMON

about

Consider the ballistics of our relationship: entry wound, fragmentation, exit wound. And yet darling, I wouldn’t have wanted to share this accidental shooting with anyone else.

FLESH WOUND
copyright 2007 john common music

flesh would, I'm bleeding a little
a reddish stain on this gray affair
it's triage at two in the morning
go find someone who cares

random, the way that I met you
spilling drinks all over the bar
in drunken delusions of grandeur
you helped me find my car

go on, go. I'll stay home
go on, go to your parties…

sorry to leave you suspended
twirling fingers in your hair
ask me all of your questions
I’ll tell the truth I swear

I always seem to come undone
that tends to ruin all your fun
I'm such a drag to you, such a drag

I hope you find something better
I hope you find something better
I'll help you find someone better

simple is so complicated
everything good, everything bad
like walking away from a fire
we lost all we had
