Hotel Bristol from Hotel Bristol by ODE

When I was born
I was taken out of context
From a decent home
Stranded down by the mountain
Underneath my bed
The sun drew its plan
On the ceiling
I heard it in a song
From the mouths of
Singing frogs
On top of dead cars
I was dreaming


When I was born
Into the forest’s eyelid
Before the fall
On the hood
I stood smiling
Beneath my head
Piled in rows, dead bodies
And all the poisoned wells
Spilled down from hell
Years to find him


When I was born
Three buildings ago
In the soldier’s side sin
I left just in time
Before his tasteless dining
Behind the door
I smelled the rosemary glide in
In that old helmet spell
Too many years to tell
I fled across the mountain

I’m standing now
I’ve tasted all the blood
Rain and snow
I’m standing now
Like an old forgotten coat
But I still believe
That something good will come
From all this
For each brick I sewed
And all martyrs of gold
That came along
And whistled my song
While they were leaving

When I was born
Sometime ago
In a senior home
Stood there all alone
Like a stranded pawn
On a radio
And I could hear that song
Play all night long down the hall
Where the nurses eat
With their charts so neat
Could I get your name my dear
Before I get my healing

I’m standing now
I’ve tasted all the blood
Rain and snow
I’m standing now
Like an old forgotten coat
But I still believe
That something good will come
From all this
For each brick I sewed
And all martyrs of gold
That came along
And whistled my song
