I came here to escape
All the things that I have done
And in my life I’ve put
All my troubles on the run
My life’s been full of indecision
And of last resorts
Something tells me to give up
But I only, I only retort:
That the silky smooth waves
That roll up to the shore
Come crashing down upon the beach
Like payback at my door
Nothing’s done too soon,
Yet everything must wait
Until I’ve figured out
What to love and what to hate
Now I’m there and then I’m here
I’ve known so many places
But memory does what it wants
It sleeps, or else it chases
And the silky smooth waves…
Here I am
Where am I?
Here I am
Where am I?
Both my legs are wet from the water
Both my arms are dried by the air
Sometimes I sink deep into the dirt
Sometimes there is fire everywhere
Still there is no human motivation
Like the threat and the promise that we die
Sometimes I find myself calling my name
Wondering who will reply…
