before

shoot the birds out the sky
and watch 'em fall to our feet
why do you insist on shooting down
everyone that you meet

but these days i'm a fog
and you're a thunderstorm
riding on the same breeze
you and me, we are

i float through these days in a haze
as you hover ominously,
threatening to drown me in my valleys
and wash me out of my hills

instead i see this tragedy
as a way to become what we
were too scared to see
before
