Julia Massey: Music

Out, Into Themselves {demo}

(Julia Massey)

junior high school,
lift your eyelids to
what's whizzin by so fast
they're droppin atom bombs
into your sunday psalms
that cloud your future past
so dirty up your feet,
go barefoot in th estreet
though i wish you felt the grass
these wishes, just like kisses
they never last

i forgot about the springtime
til i felt it in my nose
nobody ever sees it comin
and nobody ever sees it go
when i caught my own eye's reflection
in the mirror just this morning i
could see the water in them
and the pupils started pouring out, into themselves
out, into themselves

corner laundromat
vintage cadillac
sittin on the front stoop
sittin on the front steps
the latest magazines
you know they always intervene
with what the truth has said
in bedford stuyvesant
i know you see that fire hydrant
down on malcolm x
i swear i saw it get the whole block wet

i forgot about the springtime
til i felt it in my nose
nobody ever sees it comin
nobody ever sees it go
when i caught my own eye's reflection
in the mirror just this morning i
could see the water in them
and the pupils started pouring out, into themselves
out, into themselves
out
