Cataldo - Prison Boxing lyrics

Artist: Cataldo

album: Prison Boxing


A dispatch from the icy mist
Two rosy cheeks that I once kissed
You'll see me go
My head's already out the door
Thinking a month out, maybe more
And feet follow
Somewhere, a violin bows and a rock erodes, oh, oh
♪
The prison boxing got to me
The toughest fights you rarely see
Beyond the bars
Ignore the fists in gloves
The cruiser-weights with eyes swelled shut
And look at them
No one wins
'Til a room friends say
"How are you? It's been too many years."
And I say, with purity and candor
"I've missed you."
♪
So bring young poppies home to us
Forget the roses, buttercup
There'll be no need
We'll plant 'em row by row, a promise in the ground below
That there will be more
So swing wide the doors
The not yet buried that I'm ready for
And I won't press you in a book
A flat brown shell of what you were
I'll never need another look
'Cause I'm not proud, I'm not ashamed
I'm not at risk of forgetting your name
You are an ending
I found some peace in
A room of friends say
"How are you? It's been too many years."
And I say, with purity and candor
"I've missed you."
