look up at the sea
watching birds drown in their own beds
down on earth the air suffocates
the living like they never learned the art
we lose ourselves in heads of others
thinking it’s our home
we stay until we fall forgetting to be caught
no one can grab ahold of you
since it’s been a death maze all along
stronger is the wish
but hollow is the answer
scream until our tongues are numb
and our ears stopped listening
spike our eyes with visions of the lost
so we will never find the way
reach the end only to start anew
always bigger
always harder
always stronger
more
until the last breath is drawn
and you remember you have none left
