[lyrics in my head, and also traveling through cosmos currently]

Time finds another way

I push my rage against my lungs

More often than I had ever hoped to see

I try so desperately to mask my pain

With the mask of another tragedy

I open doors

And leave them

Open

For anything

To wander through

And find me

And take you

Away from where we are

I step into a field filled with mines

And walk around with crippled hearts

And try to forget the trauma in my eyes

As I try to fall in love with you

I hope you know

That I am

Lost

Inside the doubt in your mouth

As you fall into

All that you are

You are all

Inside your mind

Is a temple built to fall

Tell me what you know

Inquiry upon the stones that I throw

I tell you that I have known

The depth of the shallow homes

I try to wander around you

Taking piece and piecing all that you are

Fragmented memories

As I try to connect all that you are

I don't want to fall apart

So I cling to the stones of my soul

As I fall apart

A simple line

A simple dance

Simple tans

Moving oceans within me closer to youth

As I stand among you and waver my sol

In the sun

In the sun

I am burning alive

Standing inside light

Trying to contain the truth

Holding my tongue

In front of you

So you will never know what I am

I am

A human

Man

Standing

Slanting

Inside

Shifting sands
