We fled through the cracks
And we were spotted
I’m just a…

We really wore the world
On our shoulders
We hit that solid ground
And we were boulders
I’m just a…

Sit down and talk to me
Lungs vibrating and walk with me
Put down your cigarette
Sit down and sulk at me
If we can’t go for another mile
Sit down and smile

We crossed an x tonight
And it was epic
I’m getting oh so bored
And we were narcoleptic

We stitched a rag tonight
To wipe our eyes
She was a vixen hydra
We believed the lies
I’m just a…

Sit down and talk to me
Lung vibrating and walk with me
Put down your  cigarette
Sit down and sulk at me
If we can’t for another mile
Sit down and smile

Repeat, repeat, repeat
Give me a timely retreat
Repeat, repeat
Repeat, repeat, repeat
Give me your eyes…defeat…
I’m just a man…

"So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully now watch as it destroys me."

This kept bringing me back during the read. Nice.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
