Casting Pearls

This pebble on the bottom, this pebble in my shoe,

is shaping every current, this pebble won't be moved

take it into your body, place it upon your tongue

to swallow can be painful, to open's to become...

This piggy goes to market

this piggy stays at home

this piggy's eating beef

this piggy will eat none

this piggy wears his scars

this piggy's wasted to bone

this piggy calls his momma

this piggy set out to roam

set out to roam

I should have been a poet, I should have been a priest,

they say the greatest here is always seen as least

collect the sharp-edged moments--call all the ones you love

the hand that pulls the levers has taken off the gloves

these are my pearls...

I cannot help but lose them

I cannot help but cast

the shine into the future,

the pain into the past

these are my pearls...
