Be the Outer

when at first Death came for me,
i ran a target up the highest leafy tree,
"aim for me."
having turned his work to sport,
death consulted rule of law...

i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
moving like a streak
burning out in space,
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.

on a many colored sea,
like a captain, only lonely,
only ME,
breathing free;
i left death back in the woods
with the hoods and shoulds and coulds.
miss my mom outside,
when I’m dreaming like a fever
running high,
running high,
ever moving on from death,
with my name upon his breath.

i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.
moving like a streak
burning out in space,
i’ll become the man who never stays,
i will Be the Outer.

Be The Outer
