(what goes)
she loved so freely
she loved to survive
she often held her breath
at the awe of romanticizing
suffocation
human nature choked the life
out of love
the world took her breath
(up)
and earth died to return it
both art and age attempted cpr
the scholars couldn't phase her
neither could the sages
but the scotch and the stars
opened gates that led to
emergency operations
(must come)
so her heart could swap places with
her lungs
now she breathes too freely
she forgets she's loving
and that all hearts are still beating
hers
(down)
