rooms
Words by Bryon Bowers
ceramic water buffalo bunny
It was cold and a little bit sunny
wanted all the pretty things..
but they didn’t make the cut
did get one, wanted another
wrapped and shiny
a gift to me
small marble treasure buffalo
[chorus]
there are glowing hearts
among the broken things
tiny treasures in broken rooms
left by the dead
curled up in a restless head…
woke up one morning
Imagined walking down
that yellow grey brick road…
with only my taste to guide…
pens and pencils lined my jacket pocket…
surrounded by trinkets of a life
on a beyond bound death rocket….
for all we know to another dimension
where threads of the universe
weave a different way…
[chorus]
there are glowing hearts
among the broken things
tiny treasures in broken rooms
left by the dead
curled up in a restless head…
I stumble upon it
it is a glimpse into a love past
a heart once in love with another
a world apart
connected in a single glow
dumbfounded by the glimpse
the glimpse of a past transaction
so tiny and simple
few words written between the dead
the world around me falls
I am saddened by the abandonment around me
rooms of my past float up to the surface
and surround me
a broken house
strewn about me
[chorus]
there are glowing hearts
among the broken things
tiny treasures in broken rooms
left by the dead
curled up in a restless head…
I join the broken things
left in this world…
things left in time…
threads unraveling…
no longer wearable by the universe…
my mind craves the anomaly
fears the routine…
objects in time…
are closer than they seem
in the blink of the universe…
[chorus]
there are glowing hearts
among the broken things
tiny treasures in broken rooms
left by the dead
curled up in a restless head…
