I never saw the ban
lock up and close down
your disappointed heart
from the inside

I never saw the ban
see if you can
when everything gets disconnected
and falls apart on the outside

and every night guilt comes on
I wish I could break its right
and make it go someplace good

I never saw the ban
see if you can
turn that fist back
into an open hand

I never saw the ban
thrown into thin bloom
weak and waving
at someone no longer
around
it could have been you

and every night loneliness comes on
I wish I could break it right
and make it glow the way it should
