Periphery

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
I pushed aside all the love in my periphery In hopes of getting ravaged like a carcass by an animal in heat Under oak trees, the cloak of orange shrivelled down to bones And in her shadow I am twisting to the rhythm of the lone Whistle in the distance Pulling me to corridors and western suburbs Back to old flames and their mothers Waterfronts and educations Picket fences and carnations Serving as reminders of the reasons I must leave it all behind I've often tried making light of all the circumstances You call me up for the comfort of my second chances Under white light, Beaconsfield felt better in July Out of earshot of the preacher's wrath and his threats against my life Fire in the backyard Burning up our hand-me-downs and youngest daughters Hospitals and sickly fathers Frozen ground and coldest winters Wooden floors and bloody splinters Serving as reminders of the reasons I must leave it all behind I drew a line in the canopy of trees behind the house Just to symbolize the distance that I cannot live without Hiding in the iris, memories of mother's love and new apartments Last goodbyes and flight departures Spreading themselves out against the vastness of the constellations Afternoons spent in the garden Talking once the movie's started Serving as reminders of the reasons I can't leave it all behind
