Up every morning
bed every night
All the same daydreams
at the same times
Sometimes could you feel like
I'm still here
Let's talk about choices
Let's talk about fear
You are a distant sun
but you still burn
You are a new moon tide
that still pulls, invisible
You are a distant sun
incomprehensible
You are a distant sun,
you still burn
As pure as an animal
desire like a knife
cutting my insides out
Don't worry, I'm fine
I know how I got here
A lie on my lie
Out of respect
a denial
I have perfected the meditations of a new man
A concentration on a breath or the motion of a ceiling fan
I throw thoughts of you over there where I can see them
where they can't sneak up, where they can't cut, where there is reason
But you are a distant sun
and you still burn
You are a new moon tide
that still pulls, invisible
You are a distant sun
incomprehensible
You are a distant sun,
you still burn
The darkness is setting in
Once at my feet, now up to my chin
When it pulls away as it will again
There is the water
that I'll be
drowning in
