i haven't lived the life you've lived
but i've lived and i see
i see the deep sprawled open wide in front of me
like a mouth ready to suck me in
i've been swimming in the deep
only to be spit out again
stillborn and writhing
i've drowned in rivers deeper
than the hole you've fallen in
i am the sand that slips through your fingers
i would stay if you held me
but i would be lost...too small for you to see
and so i slip...
and yet too big for me to forget
'cause i know the secrets of a million years
i hold the ancient within me
you can't break me because i've been broken
broken and distorted
by the waves that push their way through me
pushing their way out of me
out of me this nonverbal flow of energy
pulls me under
my body is numb my mind is restless
let go of my string
so that i may float
so that i may fade
so that i may...
