a minute

stop for a minute,

let yourself think for a minute

without the sounds without the pressure

let it drown you, drown it,

feel it or kill it or embrace it or just get out of your head

as leaves do, as they sway

let them drift gently to the ground

and mind it

mind you

forget it and don't repeat

you're here now, you're nowhere, you're free, you're lost

so lost and so small and so

powerless

fell it closer now,

the breath on the back of your neck, the

sighs of the sky above as it watches you hide

disappointment is the color, i think

that you'd hide from everything ,

even yourself

even your own blood it's too scary are you afraid?

why do you do these things who are you who are you who am i

so yeah let's just breathe a minute

let it sink for a minute

become a pen and a paper instead of a coward for a minute,

ever think about that ?

couldn't you be something couldn't you help someone couldn't you be there

how could i

if i never learned how to leave my own head

it's getting crowded, too many things i think, too many fears, i think

too much

disappointment but i think it's all in myself i think

i guess i'm not just pen and paper

i guess i just need a minute

i guess i'll be back in a minute

one minute

and then i'll close my eyes
