Today I opened my mouth too wide
And swallowed a cluster of tiny flies
Now they are growing fast inside
I feel them swelling, swimming around
What if they grow too large, what if they multiply
I can't fight them when they're shielded
They laugh deep echoes, mocking me
What are you eating inside there
Food no longer fills me, stomach's always empty
I'll give up, yield all pride and sacrifice
Most of nothing and all of this
For one chance, I can't hold on to sand, I must
Exhale dirt, open eyes, firmly hold bliss
