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
