Who You Are!

I'm low again

I thought about leaving every one of my friends

I'm not proud of it, not the slightest

But it's where I've been

Alone again

I thought that I was movin' towards resolve in my head

I'm confused

What do I do when it's where I am?

Where's the hallway light

That will guide me on

In the middle of the night

And wake me up from it all?

And where's the living room

Full of safety?

I am passing through

What I've made of me

To who you are

Who you are

Who you are

To who you are

I'm drunk again

The passions of this world made a motel in my head

I'm confused

What do I do when it's where I am?

I can't keep telling myself

Maybe tomorrow

I could turn around my life

As if we're all just waiting for something

To turn out all right

I'll take a step in your direction 'cuz you took one in mine

I am passing through the mud of who I am

To who you are

To who you are

To who you are

To who you are

Who you are

To who you are

Who you are

To who you are

I can't be certain if I broke my back or my beliefs or expectations

Sin, or some third party, or maybe just a doom cocktail of the human condition

Despite the dread in death

The weaving and breaking, the deconstruction

And abject abandonment

The chaotic lust of my distracted heart

Here I am!

Spine shattered on the faithful rock of your hand

Now certain that the river had to slam itself into the cliff to carve the canyon

Had to pierce the side, sand the skin

Amputate the dead limb

Kill the son, break the pot to make it whole

I see you in it all now

My failures and screams

The necessary violence
