Take me to North Haven Drive
Let me be free of this tumultuous mind
Where limbs are twisted like branches in a storm
The wind is spreading my ashes again
I must rewire myself to float in the vast sea without resistance
And you know what?
I long to be free, to grow wings and fly over the cityscapes
And the clouds, and float with the ash of recent eruptions
I know I'm a selfish companion and a critic
And a relentless warrior
That is why I cannot promise that you will leave unwounded
For I am the hermit in the dark
Bringing frost with every waking step
I do feel myself pushing back, you know?
Trying to convince those who love me
That I am to be rid of
I am the sin and the snake in the Garden of Eden
I feel myself breathing fire for no reason
To those around me
Restrictions that hold me down leave me angry
That is why I must run
