Jan 2016
the reason i cant breathe
why i'm losing sleep
the waters always cold
and i've been drinking from my knees
eyelids stuck together
i haven't smoked in like a week
living in the shadows
missed the forest for the trees
bodies growing wider
patience growing thin
the plants all move inside
seeking shelter from the wind
questioning thoughts of doubt
while your teeth are rotting out
paranoia
everything is dying
i finally feel alive
praying for an answer
whatever i decide
so they beg for rain
with sacrifice of blood
your wishes will be granted
your reward: the flood.
