I gave my sight to the sky
And watched the clouds collide
Saw the spinning universe as I never had before
And felt the world fall at my feet
I gave my breath to you
And said all things I should’ve
Shouted all the obscenities
And whispered all the sweet nothings
I gave my mind to you
And lost every inch of myself
Washed away every memory
And disinfected any individuality
I gave my body to the earth
And pushed my rotting flesh into the soil
Buried these withered bones in the clay
And felt the heat rise from its core

I gave my sight to the sky
And watched the clouds collide
Saw the spinning universe as I never had before
And felt the world fall at my feet
I gave my breath to you
And said all things I should’ve
Shouted all the obscenities
And whispered all the sweet nothings
I gave my mind to you
And lost every inch of myself
Washed away every memory
And disinfected any individuality
I gave my body to the earth
And pushed my rotting flesh into the soil
Buried these withered bones in the clay
And felt the heat rise from its core
