En skugga
kan få en sten att se ut som en snäcka
När vatten droppar ur ditt hår verkar solen barmhärtig
Och där står jag och väntar
Tänker
Torkar
Gåshuden sprider sig
Och vinden skrattar
Man blir så lätt tagen, man kan bli dragen
Drunkna i allt vad det innebär
Saltet svider i mina spruckna läppar
Och jag tänker
Jag drunknade ju för länge sedan
I can’t breathe until
My hands are clean
The dust on my skin
Invades my lungs
And the ants crawl
Across my eyes
The same filth that’s on your mind
We’re restless tonight
Life is but a test
You think you’re blessed
Aren’t you glad you came?
You have a name
And you’re worth something
And you’re worth keeping
There’s no
point in crime
Wasting time
All wrapped up in chains
And I see your veins
You’ve declared your war
So what are we waiting for?
I remember it
It was a beautiful day
The sky was as blue as can be
And you were all there with me
Though I can’t recall
What it was that someone said
We had plans for the day
Didn’t mean to get carried away
But those words were said
Disappointment and contempt
Suddenly they hit us with truth
In the moment we lost our youth
And you cried
In my arms you were trembling
Infected with regret
I wondered if the day had ended yet
Oh, trouble
This isn’t fair
You cheated this game
My mind was so clear
Then you came out of nowhere
