We're still racing one another
I don't know why they do it
Break from one another
Just to see what you'd do
Someone told you not to linger
'You've just got to move along'
Someone said, 'you're a dreamer
Be careful… be careful
'Such things are for the weaker
The ones that feel and need too much'
Someone told you to 'stay meager
Don't push… don't push'
Someone pegged you a 'thinker
A force built to devour'
They said, 'fear your brother
He's the reason you suffer'
'Good people wouldn't do this
You know, we'd never hurt you
Give us everything to prove it
Give us everything to prove it
We know you fucking love it
Oh, we know that you love it
Just keep coming back for more
We know you fucking love it'
They said 'don't think so much
You're gonna hurt yourself
You're gonna hurt yourself
And we just might take it all'
Pretty people don't deserve this
Those who have the right to earn
Just to serve a single purpose
And to watch the rest burn

There's a version of this life
That's as good as I imagined
Where there's a place for everything
Every thought
Every doubt
Every grace
All redeeming
I wanna see myself
For all that I am
And all that I can
Better than before
And completely whole
Self-awareness
Forgiveness
Transcendence
All at once
Shed the weight
Spare the need
There is violence in this
There is grievance in this
There is silence in this
There is patience in this
There is violence in this
There is grievance in this
There is silence in this
There is patience in this
There is grace in this...

Tongueless Chicago, Illinois
First a shiver, than a rustle of leaves. I smell wormwood and ash and am immediately reminded of that place- the one I
worked so hard to leave behind. I stagger backward, stumbling on the roots, intoxicated with the smell.
And then I see you.
I am at once filled with sound and absolutely quiet. Just as it should be- the violent sound of the desperate; the utterance of the toungeless.
