The great open awareness calls to me
Should I let it set me free
And am I beacon for the age
Do you hear it when you read it on a page
Coz I’ve always seen myself as a Nobel prize winner
But also as some kind of sinner
But I am shedding skin
So I turn round and look at him
And he’s just watering his plants
While I chop pomegranates and eat ants
And listen to Hozier through my earphones
If it was the first time he didn’t feel alone
Would he have a space for me
If I get famous and show him infinity
And we’d kiss as the ash would burn
Like a Wednesday that could never learn
How to do exactly what it’s told
I’d look into his eyes and my cards would fold
Like that couple in the painted veil
Why does my courage always fail
When the winter pulls in the gate
And if I’m always late
Why am I so obsessed with time
Something that could never be mine
As it pours out the window
It eats everything but awareness eats him though
Like death at the door
When it comes to take someone you love more
Than life itself
And mental health
Is just an excuse so I don’t have to face
The lack of her in her face
When her spirit has passsed
Soared above all that had kept her fast
Tied to a body in form
And though it may not be warm
He soul is cracking embers
I don’t know what it is that remembers
When the mind forgets
It’s in the ocean and the sea begets
All that reigns supreme
Don’t tell a grieving person it’s just a dream
