If I Were A Bell - Bodies Of Water

If I were a bell

What would make the metal of me sing

Oh, friends, not these tones

In a time too soft for bells, they sing

Where is solace in the noise they bring

What hand is it darting

In and out between my ribs

And what is shaking what is in there

Oh, so violently

What is it that falls in me

And never gets again to be

As high as it was 'ere it crashed

Focusing on wellness

I have focused on my wellness

For so long it has become

An empty part of me

I have said the words and

I have made the noise so often

It has become strange and meaningless

Oh, and when they toll

Oh, the tones the tones

The timbre
