Heart Stop

[The boy rummaged through his recordsSearching for a clueWhere was this pathHow would he find itHe remembered that the rainbow would rise through the dustSoon he felt drowsyHypnotized by the sound of a guitar strumming on an old record]

I feel my heart stop

I've just got to catch my breath again

I feel my body rock

and tighten, I'm frightened, I'm falling of the edge

It's as if they're calling me

with the cadence of a flame

In the dark they honor me

Blowing storms that know my name

I feel my heart stop

I've just got to catch my breath again

I feel my body rock

and tighten, I'm frightened, I'm falling of the edge

In hieroglyphic vision

they're lying kneeling in the reeds

but what is it I'm hunting

that grows from just a seed

I feel my heart stop

I've just got to catch my breath again

I feel my body rock

and tighten, I'm frightened, I'm falling of the edge

If I pretend I'm melting

Melting in the wakes

I turn the black to color

With his magic trays
