I'm still learning to be human
Still learning to be slow, to appreciate
To realise that time leaves us wistfully longing
Oh, how I've grown
Just to be silenced, gag and rape me
I'm still learning to be human, still learning
Life means nothing without words
Without happiness, without hurt, we are voids
Surgeons trying to put each other back together
I will stay quiet when you shout
You tell me I'm wrong when I'm believe I'm right
Why can't we just exist together?
Why can't we just ride the ride together?
There is no greater good, everyone bleeds, sweats
Loves, feels, the rain, the grass, the sky
I'm still learning not to be drunk, in my sober mind
In this water tank of breathlessness
Spit on me, beat me, as long as you feel good
I've lost everything
My voice, my sanity, I am nothing but addictions
A mother tongue, spinning around
Your porcelain skin is an iceberg I know
There's something beneath it, silently waiting
Something dark waiting to crawl out
That 3 am bedlam, that 3am glass poured
The rain on my fingertips
Your name on my lips
Floating away, floating away, floating away
Floating away
Like a wandering heart.
