Life = Earth

 

The undertow slithers, equilibrium pulses loss of structure

A breath, a sound, seems ages away from a violent center

The grasp I try to hold, the aging happening to my control

 

Is always too much to bear?

Knowing I’m the one coming clean

Saying what it takes to be there

While dying holding on to our dreams

 

The continuous lapse of lost time

Always returns when you don’t expect it

To play to their ears already

When they don’t even protect us

 

A flashing rain of poison

Floods of evolving mistakes

An attention span ruined

By an underwater earthquake

 

Chemical beaches harbor

Washed up dreams of nothing

Breathing only becomes harder

The more we scream while running

 

Taken by arms in the wind

Illusions spattered like rain

The means to create a heaven

Only leads us to more pain

 

Break down walls to uncomplicate

Breed answers as I spill

The urge to procreate

Leaves me ready to kill

 

A solemn, sacred world

Divided by those that hate

Frozen, the life of love

Dripping slowly the tears of fate

 

A precious, powerful Earth

The greatest challenge for any soul

Conquer the path from birth

Without losing all control
