The Reigns

I sat and
Contemplated everything
And nothing came
This dry skin
Is aging and cracking
But I still sing
Let the sun wash over me
These warm thoughts
Are a shade of the truth
Seem to be a forest growing out of harvest
Keeping me sustained
Straying from the obvious
Into the strange
It was in an effort ending up the same
Their voice speaks now
Other than my own echo in the cavern of our useless skull
I am just a stain on a dress you’ve made
The beauty in the stitching elegances
Block the rain
Aiming at this broken shell
Countless as far as I can tell
The ways in which you sing
I rode your back and took hold of the reigns, laughing all the way
(Laughing all the way)
What can we fill up in our short lives
Making us complete, allowing us to breathe
When death is washed away we will terminate this vital mystery
But I still need to reach the life inside of me, the life inside
I rode your back and took hold of the reigns, laughing all the way
