Trailing Down
trailing down
feeling like a kite that's fallen onto the ground.
where was that guidance that let me soar into the sky?
it disappeared and let me see into my mind.
and there I went too deep and swallowed to hard...
I could chant myself to sleep by the vibrato of my heart:
I'm a person
I'm a mound
I could open up your mouth
but you forgot to let me in
once again you swayed me in
I'm a person
I'm a mound
so presistant to break bounds
but you decide to cave in
once again you left me thin
I'm a person
I'm a mound
I'd be willing to put down
but you just spoke without a sound
now this silence will make me drown
