The Face of the Earth

Eric Christian Axelson, Jason Andrew Caddell, Joseph Wilson Easley, Travis Michael Morrison

As kisses go
It wasn't anything out of the ordinary
The alkaline lips
The fingers hooked around my belt

She had to go
She took a step back in and then she started to smile
I heard a funny sound
Then everything seemed to shift, yeah

A crazy wail
A funny shutter of a bad magnetic event
A ghost ran through us
Moving like a shadow of a cloud

And I wasn't sure
I thought that something happened but I didn't know what
The moment seemed to fade
And I turned my eyes back to her

That's when I saw
I freeze the look of pre-alert and study it still
Her smile starts to loosen
Her pupils yawn wide and then she's blown
From the face of the earth

There wasn't any wind
No noise, no nothing
Just a body jerked skyward
Limbs flailing like an unloved marionette
At impossible speed
Receding away like a faraway dot

I can see her still
Scream for help but no one answered
She turned end on end
Moving like a long-lost astronaut
I felt the summer air reclaim me
The chirp of a bird, the whisper of leaves
And I was frozen
To the face of the earth

I never really knew the way she lived her life
I tried a couple numbers but they never called back
I didn't know her family or friends at all
With no one to call, summer turned into fall
I gave up

It's been a couple years
And I guess I'm fine about it
It's not like we were married
It was three or four months
And nothing's really different
Though it seems like I've spent my life in planes
Which is kind of strange
But I don't know
I don't know, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
