Blink

I am here
You are too
Who am I
To try and change you
Looking to the left
And to the right for safety
Looking everywhere
But the Lord lately
Strip off the cover, untie the knot
It hurts to care, hurts worse to not
It’s the edge of a cliff we’re living on
So drink it in…
before you blink and it’s gone
A salt dry tear
Cry you, cry me
An ocean deep fear
A sky high need
Blanket over cold
Air to the suffocating
Water to the ones
Who stand and cry out thirsty
Strip off the cover, untie the knot
It hurts to care, hurts worse to not
It’s the edge of a cliff we’re living on
So drink it in…
before you blink and it’s gone
It’s a joke… it’s a crime
to pretend we’re not alive
it’s the hope… that we’re right
and the truth is under light
it’s the air we breathe
it’s the air we breathe
Strip off the cover, untie the knot
It hurts to care, hurts worse to not
It’s the edge of a cliff we’re living on
So drink it in…
before you blink and it’s gone
