Miles

I'll steal sentences until I find

The words needed to clear my mind

Pour them out until I see

Someone who looks like me

Will there be a chance to fix it all

After the storm, after the fall

When the whole world is covered in rust

And every heart lies beneath the dust

Lie to me, just for awhile

Lest we count every mile

And every problem accumulates 

And we remember death awaits 

I'll watch my blood ebb and flow 

In the end, where else is there to go

In the beginning, where's it from

Somewhere delicate or somewhere numb 

What could it all possibly mean

All the things I've never seen

All the people I've never met

All the boundaries I never set

I'll steel myself until I find

A purpose I can get behind

A life unstained by memory 

A reason for being me
