Arrived At Upside Down - Sweet Billy Pilgrim

Tie a balloon onto the fingertips

Weights to willing ankles

Soft as a lullaby or Pillows held over sleeping faces

Or make it better with a kiss…

And betrayal into bliss…

Faceless one

I am a line drawn through these

Arabesques with tender precision

Pick at the blandest

Most indifferent thread and I’ll unravel…

Out into nameless colours

Till i am just another

Fading silver wind

Hold on, hold on O-Life is a place we arrived at upside down

Ground to a powder I am Measured out just one part per million

Now every page I turn is Pressure against a trigger finger

How can a soul end up so thin?

Is it there when the beginning is the end

Hold on, hold on O-Life is a place we arrived at upside down

I am not a map of mercy

To fold away everythings alright

Or a plot to build the shelter

For crandling a dying firelight

I’m the wind wisp from you to me

I’m driest earth this is out of reach

Show me a map of mercy

Mark where the shade is waiting

Here with my shoulders shaking

I already know…

Hold on, hold on O-Life is a place we arrived at upside down
