Sitting here under another starry night
I'm trying to get my mind right, thoughts took my sight
So much to do, so many to listen to
But I'm just trying to be in the moment and show love to you
I mean how many breaths are we guaranteed
One second you're heart could be pumping
The next it might not beat
I'm just trying to keep seeing you blinking
I want to see you keep breathing
Never stop is what I'm thinking
Are we just mammals or is love real
Or do animals know what love is and humans got a bad deal
Is it human nature to hate you or want to be your neighbor
Would I kill for food or kill others to save you
These are the questions I ask myself while the crickets sing
Am I eternal soul or just a carbon thing
These are the things I ponder, I'm sorry my mind wanders
We're taught to love messiahs
But I've always loved the monsters
This blood orange sky
And Rorschach blossom mind
Returns from unknown sonic webs
Your thoughts untangle threads
If it wasn't for these nerves would I even really feel
If it wasn't for these eyes would I see myself steal
If it wasn't for these ears would I really hear the lies
If it wasn't for this tongue would I taste the salt from your cries
If it wasn't for this nose would I smell the leaves of the seasons
If it wasn't for these words would we even have a reason
What's a body but a symbol, what's a word but a symbol
What's a symbol but an attempt to understand reality
What's reality but a misunderstanding
Without instincts, chemicals, and blood were stranded
Took the hand of my ancestors to my family tree
I admired the tumors, broken branches, and golden leaves
I asked my grandmother where the fruits are
She smiles and points at my heart and says where the roots are
I start digging for the truth, my identity and me
I find a coffin in the roots
Inside's a mirror, my face is all I see
This blood orange sky
And Rorschach blossom mind
Returns from unknown sonic webs
Your thoughts untangle threads
