The Way It Should

Let’s see the world run backwards,

where the trees grow toward your hands

and you wish the air was softer.

The flickering light

would burn out bright.

The cracks would fade

into the mirror

and the holes would fill with sand.

 

Let’s see the flow be broken,

why should we see control.

Owning what we believe

and holding on to what we see.

Just feel why your eyes blind you,

the burning rubber in your mind.
