lyrics

I went out last night and fired a .22 rifle
at the sky to celebrate
and see if I could make it past
all the light pollution in this state

it was a clear late summer sky and I was alone
but inside I could hear a heart beat
and knew that I would soon
have another soul to love and keep

I went out last night and fired a shot in the dark
and asked if I could sometime see you
ignoring all that passed
when the darker thoughts absorbed my mind

and then

a star was formed
swirling in the center of a cosmic storm
a child was born
screaming on the porch-steps of an August door.

the feeling has passed and and I am back inside
my fingers shaking, I lie down
avoiding contact with the mirror
my eyes trace on the ground

an hour goes by and I am so ashamed
I should be saying prayers for you
but waking seems so hard
when my daydream-self won't have to move

then the feeling has passed and thoughts turn back inside
I try and fail to explain
exactly what I meant
when I said "I owe you all this pain"

and then

a star was formed
swirling in the center of a cosmic storm
a child was born
screaming on the porch-steps of an August door.

a star was formed
swirling in the center of a cosmic storm
a child was born
screaming on the porch-steps of an August door.
