these days all fold into one

as the seams evaporate

feel the pressure from the outside

blur the line between madness and reason

euphoric moment counterfeit

withering expectations

no feelings of resolve

and I wait for a change

at expense of motion

the outer rim of earth we swim

adept to the way life can overwhelm

at dawn you allow your mind to dwell

the sun runs on empty, it’s over now

I see the earth hollowing and frail

silent now as ever

will you remember the way it felt

higher now than ever

the light flickers in waves

and radiates its will to keep aflame

the distance between this

shadows dance in place

an imprint to forget

these days that fold into one

are depleting rapidly

calculated to devolve

and I cried for a change

and held faith unbroken

you’re on the backtrack crawling your way out

the light inside you carry is weighed down

but on the asphalt,

the rain falls through waiting hands

(the earth we swim)

the outer rim of earth we swim

adept to the way life can overwhelm

at dawn you allow your mind to dwell

the sun runs on empty, it’s over now

I see the earth hollowing and frail

silent now as ever

will you remember the way it felt

higher now than ever
