i fell, i fell,
out of breath, out of breath
from the low, to the furthest
from confusion, to bewilderment
from a sound, to a moan
from a tale, to a nightmare
no one stood besides me
but darkness, but darkness
spinning, spinning
around self, without god
wind took the days and nights
where to? where to?
all the books, floating, on the sea
our gaze got entangled
wish it were a tight knot
suspension, suspension
pulsating of my crossing
through the fundamental particles
all of my foundation, crumbling to nothing
the dull blade of truth, on my skin and bones
this is my story, i laugh, i dance
i laugh, i dance
i laugh, i dance
i spin, i spin, i spin, i spin…
