Life and Island Times April 20 2016

Charles Ogle as the monster in Edison’s 1910 Kinetogram Frankenstein

Show me how to live
In the early dawn
Slowly moving along
Couldn’t buy a second of sleep
I was aching nightly under the stars
I was reborn
With stolen parts
A smartphone in my heart
Didn’t need a priest
To put my mind to bed
This ringing in my head
Is a cure or maybe a disease?

Nail in my hand
From my salvator
She gave me new life
Now I’m finding how to live

Nail in my hand
From my salvator
She gave me new life
Now I’m finding how to live

And in her waiting arms
I landed
And shed my skin
And in those hours I stood
Ready to begin

Nail in my hand
From my salvator
She gave me new life
Now I’m finding how to live
