i am the suck of air you take
that you've had many times before;
i am the blow you try to fake,
but which still throws you out the door;
i am the air that fills your lungs,
but leaves you emptier below;
i am the void that you can't explain,
but which is where you want to go.
flame sucks between the balls of steel;
nothing moves, the air itself congeals.
look at the flame if you want to,
hear the sharp crack of the fission,
smell the brief vapour of ozone,
feel static motion.
i am the love you try to hide,
but which all can understand;
i am the hate you still deny,
though the blood is on your hands;
i am the peace you're searching for,
but you know you'll never find;
i am the pain you can't endure,
but which tingles in your mind.
flame sucks between the balls of steel;
nothing moves, the air itself congeals.
look at the flame if you want to,
hear the sharp crack of the fission,
smell the brief vapour of ozone,
feel static motion.
i am the joy you really pay for,
but which comes completely free;
i am your god on the final day,
for the truth is you and me... |
