breaking news

This is the word vomit that divulges itself when I listen to Parade and decide to do a theme of news and weather. Some neat parts, but sort of loses momentum at the end. I like some of the images though, just not all. I may come back to this one later.

----------

i heard the news and i threw it across the room
i thought it out and i tossed it out the window
i see it happening and it all to much to bear
so i pitched it down the stairs
cause i know i can see you anywhere
i look around my room, i tend to stare
in my life i see you everywhere
the weatherman forecasts heavy rain
cover stories propose a pound of hurt
CNN says to prepare for the worst
and so i shut the TV off.
cause i know i can see you anywhere
i look around my life, which i never share
in my world i see you everywhere
and there are times i doubt the sidewalk is solid right in front of me
and there are times i feel the car start to drive itself
and there are times when i don't feel anything except how i know i feel when i'm with you
gossips taunting me about the end of days
i won't flinch i'll stand and take the strikes
and prove the fakers wrong for all the years of strife.
cause i can see you anywhere
i see you floating in the air
in an aerospace affair
you're competing with the clouds
in a game of truth or dare
i'm falling to the ground as i watch you slip away
saying a prayer to myself that i know i won't betray
and as i pass on through the rain
and the lightning in the sky
i pull my chute and am relieved to
see you with me standing by
i don't think you'll pitch me down the stairs.
i don't think you'll toss me out the window
cause maybe you see me everywhere
