just allow yourself to fall
only a moment's notice will you notice how bad it is
hanging onto to everything, though, won't help
never keep yourself tethered if you know that
you want to release yourself from these dead branches

already i'm tumbling, and there is no use in
preventing the slide which
presents itself in front of me, but
luminescence blinds me from the right path
eventually i'll crash and burn, and it will all
suck, but i'll still hit the ground, and an animal
erodes my skin, chews into me and tears me up
eventually i'll find myself back into the world
don't make me grow without a little water, please
