i love to watch the sunrise breaking at the dawn
in between the mountains bringing in the morn,

lighting up the valleys and its pastures green
such a lovely sight one that must be seen.

it gives a sense of freedom and makes you feel so free
this lovely piece of nature for all the world to see

i'm in love with you
and i know that love is just a shout into the void
and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we're all doomed
and that one day all of our labours will be returned to dust
and i know that the sun will swallow the only earth we will ever have, and i'm in love with you
sorry.

the exact middle, she claims
i'm neutral, she says
i don't pick sides, she proclaims

no, no
the exact middle is never
the exact middle
of nothing

we are always in the middle
of something

when i hear her say,
"you know i've never picked sides,"
what i really hear is:
"i don't care enough to care"
"my comfortability, my ignorance, is worth more than someone else's struggles"
"my silence is more important than another's life"

what i hear is you giving up, giving in,
because it's not your problem, right?

no, no
the exact middle
is never
a "neutral" place to be
