I painted the door
To cover the dent
Left by the beer bottle
Meant for my head

I knew
When I saw the flash
out of the corner of my eye
I knew
When I felt the rush of air
Pass by my side
I knew
When I heard the sound
That explosive vibration
I knew
So young, such pain
So peaceful now

I knew

It was not
A leap of faith
You took
That fateful day
