The first time we made music, Twisting words like ballet dancers on the backs of broken promises, Bowing under the weight of our own problems, And putting pressure on each other, We made music like no other instrument I'd ever heard. And still, When our shot rang out around my head and riddled pinholes in rattling bones, I started shaking to the beat, I was a evangelistic sinner, You were my gospel hymn, I shook and shouted under your spell, Singing and slipping hallelujah and amen in my wake as I, Pounded prayers into my skin. Somehow, You never even meant to speak to me. An accidental meeting. You sat strung up softly singing melodies, I slipped my violin string around your heart beat, And decided this world, Our world, Needed more dancing. And we made music. Twisting words like ballet dancers on the backs of broken promises, Bowing under the weight of our own problems, And putting pressure on each other, We made music like no other instrument I'd ever heard.
