STRUCK BY LIGHTING - REPRISE - 03

SMOOTH COLD METAL
I feel my skin stretched across the bones of my hand.
All at once I look down, allow my eyes to gaze 
Upon the light reflecting off my fist
I tighten it. I tighten it again. And Again.
The smooth cold metal of the microphone, 
It's familiar to me. It feels like home. 
Kill it. Kill it. Kill it's how I live it.
Killing like I'm ill enough.
Killing like we're making love.

(Note: In this case I am using the colloquial definition of "kill" or "kill it" which means "to be awesome" or "to do something very very well"... There is no negativity, violence, or death referenced in this song. On the contrary. All peace, power, control, universal respect. The "smooth cold metal" is NOT a gun - it is a microphone. This is a prayer for art/microphone to replace war/gun.)

SMOOTH COLD METAL 10

If I told you
that I love you
would you come
would you come
would you come
a little bit closer closer closer

If I told you
would you be a little
closer?
Come closer

You’re Closer You’re closer
You’re Closer You’re closer
Than anyone
Than anything 
Than anywhere
Than anytime

You’re Closer You’re closer
You’re Closer You’re closer
Than anyone
Than anything 
Than anywhere
Than anytime


if I told you every day
you and I were meant to be
Would you promise you would take
All the love and 
fill the empty space in my heart
space in my heart
space in my heart
