Benjamin

from Too Big For Baths by Chris Baldwin

lyrics

Benjamin cries sweetly, stick and carrot overhead;
Leading him away to the place where he dreams;
Where hate surrenders to love, and pain ceases to exist,
And harmony removes the fear of ever needing to die.

Of this life, I'm certain that he has his own special time
To greet and wonder and repel all that he left behind.

The smile he wears will never break here,
And rain a memory long gone.
The escape is tranquil and peaceful like a mother's embrace.

For tonight, I'm certain that we'll have our own special time.
To greet and wonder and repel all that we left behind.

But colours must fade, and day will be night, and time will erode and decay.

Benjamin stirs slowly the curtains drawn above his head.
Light exhumes him, he opens his eyes and he breathes the stale air.
