i can be happy just sitting in rain
in a rusty old swing in the downpour
with the sirens around me screaming in vain
swing deaf to their harmonious roar
i can see with neither eye, both made sore
by the icy cold water beating inside
and thunder answering with a sound like war
to those sirens' continuing cry
and i'm ready to swing, swing up through the sky
that mirrors the muddled puddle below
no matter how dirty no puddle can hide
this reflection of empty my eyes always show
