Sorrow filled clouds are absent today
Finally I can touch my lungs again
Hopefully I remember breathings rhythm
I can’t remember how long it’s been
How fast do clouds fade?
I know they just show up
So ‘A while’ in my best estimation
There’s pain in my chest
Probably the rust in my ribcage
Still, there’s this familiar flaw in the tune
I’m on a haste to take all I can
Breath after breath after breath
You never know it might just be a fluke
Why am I drowning in it all?
Fresh isn’t so fresh again
It’s sour, sweet & indescribable tastes
Wildlife are not as hard to tame
Clearly I’m a different kind of monster
There’s a strange pain stretching my brain
Strange thoughts of being buried alive
Shades of darkness falling fast
Bleeding nails less fingers, I keep scratching on
Nothing’s infinite; right?
Strangely suffocating but never running out of air
Quick to the trigger, cause & effect
It’s hard to be astute when everything’s so grey
Life’s just a giant vacuum bubble
Anchored in-flight & forgot I’m only floating
Remiss steps, cause & effect
Nothing’s perfect when everything lasts a second
Always in a rush to some place while going nowhere
Haphazard reptilian prospects, cause & effect
