where the impossible seems three shorts steps to the left, and one giant leap into insanity…
A wasted window, shut not open, broken, deceiving you, while I’m deceiving myself, shadowing the importance of truth, we are the important ones, lost in a cycle, past, present, paternal and maternal, a wisdom not give, a sin held inside, who am I, who was I, words not spoken, silence not broken, my voice shaken, …
