Newton’s 3rd Law

I retrace my steps, one by one by one by one

Until I never left

I take back what I've said, word by word by word by word

Until I've said nothing

I unsee the things I saw, horror by horror by horror by horror

Until I've seen nothing

I deny what I've heard, secret by secret by secret by secret

Until I've heard nothing

I forget what I've learned, lesson by lesson by lesson by lesson

Until I've learned nothing

I remedy what I've done, hurt by hurt by hurt by hurt

Until I'm completely innocent

I've pulled back from what I've reached for, desire by desire by desire by desire

Until I'm inversely proportional to the square of the distance
