I hit the ground running What else was I supposed to do When I fell Every thought in me All that I believed Said I should have seen this coming. But where were you Who were you Who was it I thought you would be What did I expect you to do Who were you... Who was this "you" in my memory A perfect stranger Or maybe me What did I expect Was myself not enough to survive the storm When I asked you and you held me up Did I expect that you had some deeper knowledge -- did you know me -- did you see me for who I am... not who you thought I should be Give it up, Ive had enough, I drink too much to believe in belief I am my worst enemy above even your worst Criticality So take a breath and walk away... Maybe just let me breathe.

Out of Air
I hit the ground running What else was I supposed to do When I fell Every thought in me All that I believed Said I should have seen this coming. But where were you Who were you Who was it I thought you would be What did I expect you to do Who were you... Who was this "you" in my memory A perfect stranger Or maybe me What did I expect Was myself not enough to survive the storm When I asked you and you held me up Did I expect that you had some deeper knowledge -- did you know me -- did you see me for who I am... not who you thought I should be Give it up, Ive had enough, I drink too much to believe in belief I am my worst enemy above even your worst Criticality So take a breath and walk away... Maybe just let me breathe.
