You tried to make the truth less true
by living with your eyes closed.
Thank God nobody is able to
carry on like this forever,
and you –
you are now learning it the hard way.
(Are there any other means for us to learn?)
The darkness tired out your longings
for what's still yet to come,
but the future
doesn't need anyone's invitation –
who do you think has been banging and
raging at your door all this time?
Your neighbors are begging you
to open the lock –
no one on your street has slept in months,
and I think it's safe to say that
letting the future in could now
be considered community service.
I guess that the real question is
what will it take for you to live?
If you were to ask me,
the only thing that could lure you out
is knowing that God
didn't need to steal any man's rib
so He could create you.
You have always been your own.
You have always had someone to belong to.
There's a party going on in here
It's been happening for many years
And even if it all goes bad
It was the best time we ever had.
