I was lost
so I ran away
I arrived and I waited in hiding from yesterday
in disguise
Somehow on display
A feature or a flaw of design that I never embraced
The smoke hung in the air
Happily unaware
Of the history that was waiting there for me,
as the pouring rain came in my window
+++
When I left the station
that's when things got rough
Nobody told me that too much would never be enough
My liberation
an illusion
Like a gambler that would never admit to himself he’s losing
The mountains lay in the fog
have been there all along
running myself into circles *under the surface
The clouds and the waves and the ocean and wind
+++
I walked on the road
of double happiness
The glory of the red sun replacing what I missed
I won't complain
Of the pending flood
Not afraid of the snake anymore when he already has my blood
Now I wake up before the sun
to a past that can’t be undone
I walk along the edge of where I need to go
and where I should have been

And shed my skin
Again
