point of it all

i've been listening to this song all day and i still haven't found the point at all.


he argues words like salt to bloody rivers
and the sun watches over them while calling the moon to interrupt
butterflies lend grace to their lips but nothing soothes the pythons raging from their tongues
humans are nature's worst beasts
making love without making sense
dancing around insecurities and egos large enough to drown the nile
they can't stand each other
not as a unifying force
not as equals
not as one man and one woman on a journey greater than themselves
one must always be insubordinate
one must always be right
and the only time that everything in their world comes together is when they come together
letting the moon and stars see a different kind of alignment
a different kind of nature
she watches him with her honey trickling from her fingertips with a sweetness he's never tasted
drawing him in like waters under a full moon, she pulls him close to her to listen to nothing but their beating hearts
words have no place here
where their feet stand is not a battleground
they are not fighting a war
they are not searching for a truce
she is trying to bring him peace from the palm of her hand onto the inside of his lips so he can speak kind words of justice
tolerant words like religion doesn't matter in the middle east
and like homosexuality doesn't matter in the west
she reaches for him with fists of silk ready to cover him in her arms 
but even bulls run through capes and as he slips through her grasps
she weeps like hummingbirds on a daisy's petals
like robin eggs missing their mama 
like cubs looking to be king
she weeps
slower than the earth rotates and more than it has spun
she weeps tears only to be dried by the sun and forgotten by the moon
they are animals 
in a kingdom they don't own 
falling from trees they forgot they climbed
drowning in waters they once denied as tears
