between my left and right chest i feel strain
the lights dim in the room, and in my heart
i feel pain, and turmoil and terrible things
even a parable can't bring me out this peril
god's sparrow can't even sing, it's a bee sting
deep within, it's terminal and no one cares
i look up and see emptiness, no one is there
to meet eyes, to me, I'm incomplete, i'm
invisible like air, time I seek but i'm weak
and death surrounds me, whether real or dream
i was born alone and alone I be
i hope to see spring turn cold into heat
what is truly real, what I truly feel
is truly nill, nullified and void
an open space of silent noise, Lord
please save this soul of mine I cry
i don't know who i am now, I lie
i need your hand to hold me down when i
can't stand on my own, what is it to die
i feel it when i open my eyes



The End
