Holding Absence - In Circles

Crushed like a bug
Under
The weight of listlessness

Maybe I could have
Learned how to fly
But my wings never sprouted

People just go on and on
In circles
In circles

I wake to the sound
Of the hum
Of the earth just spinning around and
there’s not much for me to do
But count the days and
Look at photos of you

People just go on and on
In circles
In circles

I was a fool to have thought that I was worth
More than just a short life
And a lifetime under dirt

Dare to dream
That’s what you told me
There’s more to life than just

Your reluctant love
And your begrudging touch.
You’ve set like the sun
Maybe that’s enough.

But, if we lay here
Maybe we could stay here
Maybe we could die here.
Wouldn’t that be fine, dear?

I wake to the sound
Of the hum
Of the earth just spinning around and
There’s not much for me to do
But count the days and
Look at photos of you

People just go on and on
In circles
In circles

I live my life inside of this cocoon
Just life a flower to afraid to bloom
I live my life inside of this cocoon
And I’ll die here
