I see this picture

A girl walks through a field

In paradise

And a bird flies over her head

And I

I just watch

When two evils match

A war always ensues

It's the belief that I'm not like you

But something better

And that's about the time that our love unravels

That's about the time when people think they are above one another

That's about the time our family kills one another

Everything seems so serious until everyone is dead

Then no one remembers a single thing

Do whatever you'd like

Or whatever it is that you think that you needed to do

That's it

That's all

What's the matter with seeing?

Isn't that the miracle that you'd believe in?

What's the matter with believing?

Isn't there something you'd like to hear?

What's the matter with feeling?

I thought we were all the same

But now I experience the matter

The matter of me

And what ever else it is you're left with

A single construct

That's given life to everything that's ever been

Or will ever will be

Here
Right, here

I keep feeding

Myself

I'm the master of my own

Stomach

Ache

I keep breathing the air

I don't find the Lord

I only find my mirror

I have to go to sleep when I can no longer stay awake

My eyes burn when I stare too long at the stars

I fly so far away

But I'm still right here

I don't feel bad about it

I see you die

I don't regret a thing

You read my words

They were not me

They were just something I thought

At one point in time

I say goodbye forever

But it all keeps coming up

I can't complain about it

It's all I've wanted

You come back to life

Every time

You feel alone

So alone that you can't be with just yourself

Anymore

You come back to life

Every time

You don't want to be just one

Forever

God

That's the longest time

The only time

I've ever known

Smart enough to figure it all out

Smart enough to not tell anyone about it
