lyrics

Hard to Breathe

I renounce the violence,
the greed that simmers
through our humanity,

the lies that gouge into my heart.
I ache for the clear ripples of voice,
climbing like clematis the lattice of song.

I plead for a return
to the unifying light
of the forever sun.

We are nearly extinct
in this tar pit
of our making.

We have come to the edge
of suffocating madness.
It is hard to breathe.
