The Mouth of the Canyon

Open the gates
I’m early
Ready the sages worthy
Fraught from the cave
Sick from the charade
Stumbled from cave to the mountain
Left my hangover in the river
Bridal veil that seemed to call
Parked forever
Paved to the upper falls
Where I let go
I just closed my eyes
And let go
Heavy, my bones
Will they carry
This weight from
This ledge where you left me
Our smoke feeds the breath of the canyon
On my knees, mouth full of cavities
Where I let go
I just closed my eyes
And I let go
No need to pretend that I’ll ever forget
I doubt you will let me
I don’t need to hide from the places I’ve been
The mouth of the canyon calls me home
I swore I would take care of myself
Was I lying?
Before I begged to feel anything at all
Now, at least, I feel alone
Open the gates
I’m early
Ready the sages worthy
Fraught from the cave
I’m sick from the charade
Never let it go
I just closed my eyes
And I let go
No need to pretend that I’ll ever forget
I doubt you will let me
I don’t need to hide from the places I’ve been
The mouth of the canyon
I swore I would take care of myself
Was I lying?
Before I begged to feel anything at all
Now, at least, I feel alone
(Never forget you)
No need to pretend
I doubt you will let me
I don’t need to hide from the places I’ve been
The mouth of the canyon
I swore I would take care of myself
Was I lying?
Before I begged to feel anything at all
Now, at least, I feel alone
At least, I feel alone
At least I feel…
