Going Insane

I

My mind gonna run away from me
they say your body gonna crumble some day,
Feel myself cracking open like a ripe egg,
baby I just wanna dip away,
baby I just wanna float away…

Trust your fingers not to tremble
as they reach for gathering dust,
hear the sound of quiet wonder,
like the hum of an empty cave;
you think you are depraved
but maybe hearing noise is normal
when there is so much absence.

You think that you’re present
when in fact you’re the past.
The curvature of your mind
wraps in a knot you try to untangle;
smashing yourself against a wall,
scraped and fraying upon a rusty railing,
hacking at your vines to come undone.

People tell you to slow down,
cup a hovering bee in your palms,
but the hive is always too far.

II

Sometimes I am buzzing,
an infinite number of atoms speeding
through secretly flailing limbs,
queen of the hive,
bees in the brain,
you think that i’m wild,
going insane,
but a bright wave wisdom
is washing our world,
there’s a light sky freedom
if we let ourselves stir
it up
the cup of our dreams
screams
“you gotta be me
you gotta be me
you gotta be me
you gotta be me”

III

Don’t give in to the shadow shapes,
settle into the weird corners of your soul,
the goal is not forever,
but hidden in the sprinkle of light
between these trees,
the breeze blowing late at night from nowhere
as you walk home singing

baby I just wanna dip away,
baby I just wanna float away,
right now, right now, right…
