is this living

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
