ANOTHER BLUE EARTH

I dangle my feet off the edge of the world

Where the river plain willow trees weep

Waiting for the end of the world

Where the rivers rush on to the sea

The mundane and the mythical

How gracefully, they waltz

Hand-in-hand on the glittering street

In the pale neon glow of the amusement parks'

The weather is so wild out here

I draw a shallow breath

There are pink motels and dollar stores

There are palm trees at the end

Maybe I missed it when I was asleep

And this is the afterlife

Maybe the lightning cracked open the sky

And revealed another blue earth

How vividly I've always dreamed

Finding galaxies in one grain of sand

There are sun-bleached shells and cactus flowers

White sand and blue sea at the end

I've had these visions since I was young

Where I find another blue earth

I stand on the dunes and I start to fly

The heavens crash into the earth

I cannot say that I fear the end

Because for me, it has already come

A tidal wave washed over me

I drowned the same way I was born

So now this is the afterlife

And I am letting go

Shaking off the fever dream

Looking up to the sun from below

I've learned to breath underwater

For some peace, at long last, I have searched

Another planet has been discovered

They say it looks just like the earth

I dangle my feet off the edge of the world

Where the river plain willow trees weep

Making my peace at the end of the world

Where the rivers rush on to the sea.
