Take a moment to wash it down,

sip from the cup,

do not drown,

a breath not taken,

a second that will forever last,

we the people of sin and salt,

full of class not counted,

a call was given,

the sun was gone,

deceptive ingredients cast aside,

the spell was done,

I whispered the winter words that gave your grave earth,

I wanted to wish for different things,

but the birth,

the birth,

the birth…
