Against the World
I pressed against the world today and it screamed back at me
I leave my body on the floor and let it fall to pieces
One by the other. Stuck by another. Shifting as one giant bunch
I kill those pieces and sever them away from me
I kill those pieces and break them far from me
I—
I let myself go, so impossibly slow
and the world is screaming
the world is screaming
It's screaming to be free
I cut up the earth and dug deep in a hole
Wanting to find someplace for my soul
The earth rejected that
Should have I expected that
I caused so much destruction
Now all of my instructions are long gone
And I asked the world for help today
And it screamed back at me
I asked the world for help
And it broke away from me
