hell and malfunction

one night i fell

rolled over

caught some good air home

above a deep

ferocious hillside

hell and malfunction

we know

need

feel

want

we'll grow it in our mind's sun

to all feed someone

save all from their mountains

save all from their drowning

save all from their endless nights

their suicides

so then i sink

in slow motion

can't hold my breath long

in water's deep aloha half-smile

it's swim or be sunken

and know there's no one to get me out

from under

so help me someone

save all from their mountains

save all from their drowning

save all from their endless nights

their suicides

save all from their mountains

save all from their drowning

save all from their restless nights

their suicides

a no-win in no light

in no pain

it ain't right

make that strap tight

take my air away

make my chest ache

i will stay awake

i will think of love

think of truth

think of why i never really said enough

i never won

i never showed enough

i fucking never had a run and it's too late now

one night in hell

i strolled outside

a breath of sweet air

cold

in bare

wet feet

i know i've woken

it's got to mean something

save all from their mountains

save all from their drowning

save all from their sadness

save all from their ranting

save all from their silence

save all from their grounding

save all from their endless nights

their suicides
