flying or falling

Flying or falling Follow or lead Connecting, interlacing Wishes and needs Above the palmy surface Trouble hovers near And boy, they got me, they got me good Like icy hail storms of my childhood Bite my lips to warm 'Til they turn blue I try to soften the surface Bend through the ashes with spears Behind the mask the same version All my obsessions and fears Cut through the softening surface (nothing left here to see at all) Smashing the pavement with tears Guessing or knowing Hostage or free Forget or memory tracing Afraid of sleep Keep on talking at me Nothing understood So, what they got me? You knew you would Cut down to splinters into a pile of wood Saved for winter storms Fire set me lose (nothing left here to see at all) I try to soften the surface Bend through the ashes with spears Behind the mask the same version All my obsessions and fears Cut through the softening surface Smashing the pavement with tears Trouble hover second to your heartbeat Boy they got me good Like the winter storms of my childhood
