I straddle my throne holding on tight Feeling safe, the needle rising, becoming one, machine and man. I do not know the land ahead. Dark night masks its curves, blurring trees pass by as I press on. I have not been this way before but my throne has never failed, needle rising, pressing on. The road leaves my track heart stops, I can’t react. Why have you failed me? Violent separation, fallen from my throne, Humbled and low unable to stand.

Humbled
I straddle my throne holding on tight Feeling safe, the needle rising, becoming one, machine and man. I do not know the land ahead. Dark night masks its curves, blurring trees pass by as I press on. I have not been this way before but my throne has never failed, needle rising, pressing on. The road leaves my track heart stops, I can’t react. Why have you failed me? Violent separation, fallen from my throne, Humbled and low unable to stand.
