Is like to leave the window open and
The winter settles in
Or breathing the steam
Is like to hear the thunder rolling in
The wider part of sky
In a sunny day of light
Is like a black line on the walls after a flood in a small town
It's a slow bodycount
The Starvation mile
A creeping silence
An absence
A great cold distance
And I
I'm tired of time
I tried to run
To swim
To fly over this blank space
Is like a witness in the wrong court
With no words for saying "I swear"
And a thousand-yard stare
Is like to drink from closed hands
A prayer to a god who can pretend
It's a giant of sand
And all these days that passed me by
These darkest clouds nailed in my mind
It'll rain from my old eyes
The Starvation Mile
Where days are dragging
And bleeding
They leave a trail
Of shame
Forget my name
I tried to run
To swim
To fly over this blank space
