Back again
A breath
Already breathless
If I could sing, I could be deathless
But I’m blind, senseless to the restless
Just like the rest of us, buried treasure buggati fever dreams about same old things
Aged but not old enough
Thin skinned but the face stays rough
Smilessness, I blink and I’m tirelessness
Tiresomeness
Each moment is fearless, firelessness
Let it burn
Out, forgotten, the rest is a cloud
A foggy mistake I’ve been to the break
And back again
Back again
I’m going back again
And have you stayed the same
Materialist, pragmatically speaking, I’m pragmatically speaking
I’m speaking but the voice is voiceless, speaking through verses only brings curses
Blisters the skin, darkens the sin
Penetrates more than the light of the room
In which I am found, lost but feet on the ground
One step, one step, one step and it breaks
A link in the chain, the same as before, only this time it’s more
Of the same, more of the same, more of the lame
Repetition brings nothing but blame
Less refrain from trying again
But I’m trying again
A breath
More than a sound
More than a sound
More than a first, give me a second of worth
A second rebirth
I’ve been more than allowed to take flight and soar out of this
Disheveled and shriveled and ready to quit
But I’m one with the earth, she looks up and sees nothing
I look up and the goddess
Smiles at me, like we were always the sea
We the together, the moon the sky the forever
We struggle for never
If I could breathe within you
I would never be breathless
If I could only see you
I would never be senseless
