Lyrics
I got something from you
I received something significant from you.
No not from your job
Not related to your profession.
No not from your medicine
Unrelated to your medication.
Looking for something that you tried to lose
Searching for something you attempted to discard.
Looking for something that you could do better than
Seeking something you believe you can excel at.
I thought of you
I had thoughts about you.
“Everything”, I said, “is some kind of tether”
Expressing that everything has some form of attachment or limitation.
I leaned over and I thought of the ground
Leaning over, contemplating the ground.
I wonder who’s talking through your dumb mouth
Questioning who is speaking through your speech.
I wonder if ever you’d ever allow
Contemplating if you would ever permit yourself to fall like feathers from a window.
Yourself to fall from the window like feathers
Imagining talking to God until receiving a response in the form of weather.
I thought of you talking to God til he answers with weather
(Empty line)
I try to lose my face
Attempting to lose one's identity or facade.
I try to lock eyes with the things I can’t see
Trying to make eye contact with the unseen.
I wonder what that will do to me
Speculating on the potential effects of such an action.
I wonder how true to life that I should be
Reflecting on how true to reality one should be.
Looking for Nothing to ask it to speak
Seeking nothingness to inquire about speaking.
I thought of you
Thinking about you.
Everyone’s here and then everyone leaves
Observing people's presence and departure.
I try to lose my face
Trying to let go of one's identity or facade.
