Broken Pact Blues

Come back to us
Please return to your body
Turn in place to see it
Lying motionless below you
Witness yourself from above
Quiet as a winter night
Still as a photograph
It’s time to return or pass on
So scratch and crawl and climb your way back to us
When a life is fading
The fire dies, behind its eyes
Staring cold and flameless
The blood begins to digitize
Unnaturally the pain dies
Leaving one’s true self erased and cauterized
When a life is fading
The fire dies, behind its eyes
If you can hear my voice
If you can find you in the void
In a place between life and death
Focus on the source of projection
Follow it back to yourself
Scratch, crawl, and climb back to us
Come back to us
Please return to your body
Turn in place to see it
Lying motionless below you
Witness yourself from above
Quiet as a winter night
Still as a photograph
It’s time to return or pass on
So scratch and crawl and climb your way back to us
