بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

i am a stone chamber and a little bug in the water
i am the echo in the walls
every breath is tainted
the light is laden with dust, i cough, i wheeze
it’s alright, it’s alright
don’t be perfect, don’t be good
just be

i am the stalagmites and the stalactites’ dripping
a gaping, mineral bite
every heartbeat is toxic
the dark is gorged with poison, i shrivel, i seep
it’s okay, it’s okay
don’t be stoic, don’t be right
just breathe

i am the veins of ore and an imminent collapse
i am the forgotten scream
every time was the same
the shadows are swarming with forget-me-nots
it’s okay, it’s alright
don’t be stone, don’t be alone
you’re free
