Not a Placid Walk

from Ghost Dragons by Ulysse Marshall

/

lyrics

A boy
A boy is like a city
A city filled with joy
A city filled with fear

A woman
A woman is like a princess
A man is like a rock
A mountain made of tears

A word
A word is like the wind
An empty angry puppet
A shadow pulls the strings

Show them your face
Be born and be blessed
At the edge of dreams
This is not a placid walk with undamaged flesh

Show them your face
Be born and be blessed
At the edge of dreams
This is not a placid walk with undamaged flesh

A boy
A boy is like a city
A city filled with joy
A city filled with fear

And then
A boy is like a woman
A woman is a man
My skin beneath your feet

Show them your face
Be born and be blessed
At the edge of dreams
This is not a placid walk with undamaged flesh

Show them your face
Be born and be blessed
At the edge of dreams
This is not a placid walk with undamaged flesh

A placid walk with undamaged flesh
Show them your face
Be born and be blessed
At the edge of dreams
This is not a placid walk with undamaged flesh

Show them your face
Be born and be blessed
At the edge of dreams
This is not a placid walk with undamaged flesh
