Jerusalem

Jesse, tell me what its like
when the earth stops turning?
Where do you go
when stars drop like snow,
and leave you a dark and infinite sky?
Can you see the light of day?
Is there a window in there?
Does it hurt when you’re alone?
Do you see his lifeless face
everywhere that you turn?
Jesse says Jerusalem has fallen,
what I held eternal just crumbled away
and though my days are a silhouette,
I know that beyond the rubble,
the boundless sea awaits.
Somewhere out there in the universe,
lie the answers for which we search.
How do you move on
when your love won’t return,
and make you forget we are oh so small?
Jesse says Jerusalem has fallen,
what I held eternal just crumbled away
and though my days are a silhouette,
I know that beyond the rubble,
the boundless sea awaits.
Jesse’s lost the eyes
that he held as a child.
No, he’s not afraid.
His courage gets me down.
