I said yes, I said yes, I said yes

I prayed a thousand times yes

And the no that was hanging over the buildings

Faded like the moon at dawn

When I was young I thought I was facing

A very aware world ahead

I didn't know it was going to be

Beware of dogs instead

I said no, I said no, I said no

I said no a million times to no

But the yes that was in it's last breath

Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu

When I was young I didn't know

That one can only read life in braille

I was still struggling

To catch life on it's tail

I said why, I said why, I said why

I asked why for the billionth time

And my bone slowly lost it's moist

Like a leftover coke bottle on the street

Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing

On the square, thats my bone

It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud

Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard

I said yes, I said yes, I said yes

I prayed a thousand times yes

And the no that was hanging over

Faded
