lyrics
Didn't even think that everything that day was the last time. A meaningless sleep. Could not wait to get up and walk out. No thought of what was being left behind. A curse on my home. Ignition turns, an airplane in flight. No memories, no anticipation. Numb with purpose.
Snapped back into the present, as I leave familiar roads forever and navigate to the spot to I've chosen. Gliding through the night. Every inch new territory. A fortunate observer of beauty at rest. Wonder what it looks like in daylight. In the summer. Would they see the beauty that I do? A tinge of guilt that my loved ones can never know this place. Untold miles, an albatross with the stain of my failure.
Tranquility gives way to impatience. Trying to find the spot that matches the vision in my head. Now just an impetuous dolt on an errand... This will do. This will do. Engine off. Another albatross. Momentarily sorry for the effort to be made to dispose of it. Relatively public. Not supposed to be here. In my vision, did not anticipate having to act fast. Perhaps for the best. Impervious to the winter air. It is me, and I am it. The lights from the houses above. Cast between the trees. An artist's vision of a heaven denied to them. Monolithic machinery - ready to subsume with complete indifference. Numb with purpose.
The stars, the sand, the crisp night air propel me forward without thought. It is me and I am it. Submerged to my knees before I know it. No turning back. Fully clothed. How would you explain? Boots sink only inches into the muddy bottom. Envisioned being swept away - now it's clear I'll have to charge. Water rises past my waist, and all of a sudden the cold hits my body. The first physical sensation I've felt all night. For a few seconds, millions of years of human instinct override my purpose - nature remind me that I am committing the ultimate Abomination against it. Fight or flight, choose both, do neither. Clothes soaked and heavy, face periodically submerged. A dream actualized. Impossible thought into improbable action, and this is what I do with it. House lights bear indifferent witness as I finally lose the bottom. A final ironic acts of self-preservation - numbed limbs pull me a float to swim to a foolproof depth. Body now suspended. It's time. The night, the cold, the lights, the weight. It is me and I am it. The final exhalation, I fall beneath the surface. Eyes closed. Don't care to see anymore. No longer my decision. It is me and I am it. Only seconds remain. Eyes going numb, lungs pressed flat. Accursed instinct forces my mouth open, air becomes water. It is me and I am it. Last moments before eternal sleep. Every synapse aflame. Years of weight and numbness lead me to less than a minute of every single sensation the human body can feel all at once. It is me and I am. Nature vomits its disgust at my failure - how could this happen? I grab its neck and hurl us into the void. One final burst of light and then. Extinction, negation. I am not. I am nothing. There is no I. Only silence. I am not. It is me and I am it.
