Eight steps further
Further away
From the rock we once built on
Who do I trust if not you?
Who do I build on?
Who do I lean on if not you?
Who do I search for?
To speak
To open up oneself
Is to offer up a neck
And if the teeth are sharpened
And mouth thirsty for blood
Letters become words
Words evolve into phrases
Like spreading weeds with lives of their own
Doubts become truths
Thoughts into intentions
Like rogue waves with lives of their own
Then we move in
Ready for the kill
Then we move in
Not ready to die
To speak
To open up oneself
Is to offer up a neck
And if the teeth are sharpened
And mouth thirsty for blood
Who do I trust in if not you?
Who do I build on?
Who do I lean on if not you?
Who do I search for?
With every step I'm slipping further away from you
