Opaque

Today it rained again,
A scent lay heavy in the air
A punctured sky let in the half-light

The bruised horizon fell away
Beyond the broken window pane,
An empty bottle fills my numb sight

The smell of razors with the rain
Break the skin to find the vein
A blooded stream of broken lives

I sing with deathless sense
Open me and all shall end
It's all too easy watching you cry

I watch a bloodlit sky
I feel opaque, but why?
Smear me with your blood,
Sing your grave songs from below
Teach me how it feels to be alive
