Does it hurt, do you know?
When you limit your breath—
half-alive, half-dead–
I've lost count of deaths.
My trial, shadows as jury,
judmental yet more loving,
me, them, God-they listened,
in hell advice felt like step to heaven.
The afterlife sleeps shaken,
how low we fell that we sing about it,
bonded by the fatal fact–
we've gone too far to be fixed.
Just waiting for a last glance,
a sunrise or sunset,
a dawn or dusk,
they all praise my last midnight.
