The Jugular

How many fights
Do the lines on my hands remember?
How many stories can fit
Inside 21 grams?
You who are far away
And yet closer
You who are far away
And yet closer
Than my own jugular vein
 
For you, I'd tear heaven apart, for you, I'd demolish hell, free from promises, free from threats
 
Look, I don't have the time
To hate Lucifer
I'm too busy
Loving you, Undibel
My heart
That is always in a race
I'm cutting the flowers
Before spring arrives
Where they tie up the horses
Mine are well tied
Blood and luck
Have dragged me here
Your love is an avalanche
It collapses under its own weight as it exists
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
The snow into which I want to sink
 
For you, I'd tear heaven apart, for you, I'd demolish hell, free from promises, free from threats
 
I fit in the world
And the world fits in me
I occupy the world
And the world occupies me
I fit in a haiku
And a haiku occupies a country
A country fits in a splinter
A splinter occupies the entire galaxy
The entire galaxy fits in a drop of saliva
A drop of saliva occupies Fifth Avenue
Fifth Avenue fits in a piercing
A piercing occupies a pyramid
And a pyramid fits in a glass of milk
And a glass of milk occupies an army
And an army fits inside a golf ball
And a golf ball occupies the Titanic
The Titanic fits in a lipstick
A lipstick occupies the sky
The sky is the thorn
A thorn occupies a continent
And a continent does not fit in Him
But He fits in my chest
And my chest occupies His love
And in His love I want to lose myself
 
Seven heavens
Big deal
I wanna see the eighth heaven
Tenth heaven
Thousandth heaven
You know, it's like
Break on through the other side
It's just like going through one door
One door isn't enough
A million doors aren't enough
