Shallow

muddled in the plans
 to be a woman or a man
 to be a woman or a man
 spinning in the wake
 of an apple and a snake
 oh an apple and a snake
 i set out alone
 out, out of house and home
 out, a toothbrush and a comb
 looking for you
 but i don't know how to find you
 i don't know how to recognize you
 i have fought for you, I
 have put my needs above you
 made a pederast of you
 i've rustled through the leaves, oh
 your bushes and your trees, oh
 your fables and your thieves
 and i don't know one thing
 don't know one thing about you
 don't know an emptiness without you
 but stillness is the proof
 in stillness i can tell you move
 stillness i can tell you're moving
 and when you finally floated
 up for me to see you
 shallow enough for me to meet you
 i could not accept that i was floating within you
 ocean with no land to swim to
 and it was only time
 that moved the boundaries to hold me
 moved the pattern to enfold me
 and it was only prayer
 that echoed like time was even there
 echoes like time is even there
 one way or another
 we are going to meet each other
 one way or another
 we are going to meet each other
 we are going to meet each other
 we are going to meet each other
