A graffiti-scarred tree
knuckles in the dirt
Knows every peaceless word
repeated by the fountain
Yet offers itself like a 12-year-old boy
holds a butterfly for a girl

Saying "I am not alive
the concrete and the shadow
Those are what is real
with real flames trapped inside
You know that this is true
by how strong and strange they are"
the concrete and the shadow
Those are what is real
with real flames trapped inside
You know that this is true

I wish it was as easy
to break through the illusion
As David was discovered
by Michaelangelo in a stone

As David was discovered
by Michaelangelo in a stone
