soak

there is infinite love at my fingertips

i turn them towards strangers

point out the gold in their aura

right at the spots they refuse to see

though for some reason

i can\'t seem to return the same favor to me

 

when did i start forgetting? 

the girl with her hopes and wishes and dreams

long hair tied up in ponytails

a big gap between her front two teeth

wide enough to fit all the love she\'ll feel

 

maybe if i stop forgetting to fill my own cup

drink from the fountain overflowing within me

could that be enough to set me free?

 

soak up, submerge

so nothing bad can reach

float on my back for a while

regenerate the stolen strength times three
