I dBmig 'til my shovel tells a secret,
SwGear to the earth that I will keep it,
BArush off the dirt
And let my chBmange of heart occur.
SBmold soon after the appraisal,
The haGmmer struck the auction table
LAouder than anything I've ever hBmeard.
FGault lines tremble underneath my glAass house.
But I put it out of Gmy mind
Long enough to call it cAourage
To live without a lGifeline.
I bend the definition
AOf faith to exonerate my blGind eye.
'Til the sirens sound,A I'm safe.
BmMeanwhile, my family's taking shelter.
The spGarks send the fire down the wire,
A cAountdown begins,
Until the dBmynamite gives in.
The eBmcho, as wide as the equator,
GTravels through a world of built up aAnger-
Too late to pull itself together Bmnow.
--- G - A ---
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline.
I bend the definition
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
