Arroyo

Breathe in and feel the air The world has gone quiet again My lungs feel heavier by the day As the despair of nothing Becomes the new everything I stumble along my valley's stream To shatter the void of the empty silence I can't really say why or when Even my thoughts lead me nowhere Something will come and save me To cease my thirst with filth To feed my hunger with guilt Pardon me and send me to sleep And forgive me from all my sins I flog the dirt with my greedy hands Dry twigs and small shells scatter around A tasteless beetle finds my fingers To crawl through my wounded mouth Something will come and save me To cease my thirst with filth To feed my hunger with guilt Pardon me and send me to sleep And forgive me from all my sins
