The Perpetual Motion of a Marathon Runner Lyrics by Jake Bellissimo

Swansongs

0

Keeping it all
Keeping it all together
Not just in spite of the weather
Refuse to talk
Though in the street it’s you I see
I would be talking to a memory
Explaining my condition to a man who thinks my brace is nifty
I say “it’s not what you think”
He says “you look like a runner to me”
Sometimes it is not about what disappears
But the things that stay constant, oh so clear
As long as you keep the wheels turning
Your mind can stop your heart from truly burning
Sometimes I feel disjointed, not here or there
Perpetual motion makes me self-aware
That no matter how the sunrise kisses the sea
People’s view of it will be what they want it to be
I grip the pavement, feeling nervous
As I talk to Forest, my friend
He asks “if you’ve not moved inward
Maybe you’re not done moving yet?”
Sometimes it is not about what disappears
But the things that stay constant, oh so clear
As my friends lead me somewhere avoiding a ghost
I remember that motion matters most
Sometimes I feel disjointed, not here or there
Perpetual motion makes me kinda scared
But no matter how the sunfall kisses the sea
Or the things you think you didn’t want to believe
Or the person that you may not ever be
People’s view of you will be what they want it to be
As I try to think of something clever to say
I give in, say “you’re right
That’s me, I’m always running
Have a good morning.”
