Stop me from thinking
What I am thinking
Release me from visions
That show this ship sinking
Show me instead
A way to the end
Where all the days I have bled
Mean I don't need to pretend
I can't catch my breath
Get the air in my lungs
The smoke is so thick
That alarms have been rung
Take me instead
To a much higher plain
I'll taste the cool water
And accept what remains
The sand is catching up
No matter how fast I run
The seconds are laughing
And the days just begun
I wish that instead
Of watching the clock
Ticking louder and louder
I could just make it stop
Let me remain
In this moment suspended
The expected next step
Completely upended
And give me
The time
To reconcile
How it all ended
