Bodysong Part II

I wake in the darkness
to my heart skipping beats
and it seems nothing can cure me
but the lull of a familiar melody

under closer investigation
i see myself facing the unknown
emotions expand in my chest
of sizable weight and unknown breadth
and i wonder, how long is this going to take me?

i turn towards an old song
attending to familiar territory
with blood on the tracks
we'll run over comforting sound waves
how old is this place?
how old?

I dream of haunting houses
making visits to an apocalypse cliff
i live like this world is my center
even though it's sun that holds me together
whenever I tell myself to keep it together
i'm just pretending to hold that weight on my shoulders
makes me feel important
