I went about the earth today and tried to hide my pain
But planted it in everything and felt it like the rain
As time collapsed upon my head I stumbled to the tick
Unable to convince myself I can't keep up with it
The broken glass had gathered at the bottom of my feet
And every shard I walked upon took more away from me
In this is life, I told myself, remove what made you ache
Allow the blood to cover you the moment you awake
