Sin is water
Hence, my ****** reflection
From the same bath comes love
Always in need of another.

But it's all just moving parts--

I've tried to imbue myself with science
But stability won't fit
My raw form rebels against its own reason
I become discouraged,
My head falls.

I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry,
All the way down.

My missed marks are red,
I can't wash them off
My stupid face sags in the mirror slow,
I hold myself accountable.

To understand and err so much is frustrating
But to be the man on the cusp has been exhilarating
I may never be the white foam of the wave but I was the water at the base...
And it crashed down on pride and wiped my life all away.
