leave me/I am unworthy of your searching
unrecognizable to love/immortal wounds
meet mortal man/am I too wrong to be right
what is my life/what are these, flickering lights
never looking far enough to see me/I see
and I hide/there is no room left for me
to be one with you/is to be undone
with everything I’ve ever stood for/lost
to the wind, the sea/my dreams aloft
on noxious fumes/is there any chance
at revival/knives cutting away at my flesh
I try to find a pulse of creation/work dampens
my spirit/so much taken, so little left
I believe/there’s another word in me
but I might have to touch death’s door/to find
what I have to say
