Soul Walking

The confusion swarms behind my eyes
Like a million crows
Unsettled in the half light thunder
Of a perfect storm

That spins and spins
And throws my thoughts
Like a million soulless black wings
Into the night

A gesture that breaks a thousand dawns
Its raining somewhere else
I know but I can't feel it
Cut off from the heart

He asked what I was doing back
Washing my soul, walking my soul
Letting it know there's a bad side of town

I keep it on the leash
Away from the scars and the bleeding
As the black breasted beings tear
With a lonely cry at the heart
