I woke up speaking in a stranger’s breath Like something fell but never really left There’s a little black sun behind my eyes Getting bigger every time I lie My blood keeps moving like nothing changed While something ancient rearranges my brain Everybody says I look the same That might be the part that scares me It’s the end of me The end of me No one else can see it happening Let the old me burn Let the whole thing turn Into something I don’t recognize It’s the end of me The end of me And I’m still alive Still alive… Still alive… How am I still alive? I found Eden growing through my lungs With rotten fruit beneath my tongue Every memory became a flood Every doorway filled itself with blood I watched my younger selves appear Standing barefoot at the atmosphere They said, “You cannot take us where you go” Then disappeared like falling snow If I am both the flood and ark Both the match and what went dark Both the altar and the offering What exactly am I saving? Maybe resurrection hurts Maybe rebirth looks like dirt Maybe you don’t meet yourself Until there’s nobody else End of me… End of me… End of me… It’s the end of me The end of me I can finally see it happening Let the old me burn Let the whole thing turn I don’t need to recognize Who I used to be Who I used to be To know I’m still alive
