I found a rose hovering above my head,
giving an inaccurate description of who I am.
All unloving, impatient, and ungrateful.
We appear to still have a soul.
I don’t have many secrets to share with you,
other than the fact that I’ve been stealing most of my air from you.
It just tastes so different - untouched and untainted.
Makes me feel like exhaling is overrated.
I guess I don’t know - what is normal company?
Because I am alone more than I’ve ever been.
Well, I’ve been having a hard time convincing myself
that I’m confident in my ability to leave.
Still I am having a hard time relying on my will to keep in touch
with my stems, my seeds, and my leaves.
More than I ever will.
More than I have ever had the chance to.
I guess I don’t know - what is normal company?
Because I am alone more than I’ve ever been.
She said, “It seems so simple, but every time I die inside.”
The same old story.
I guess I don’t know - what is normal company?
Because I am alone more than I’ve ever been.
