first day

Lend me your hand to hold it
To steady me on this steep way
Stepping around doom as all foretold it
I was just anticipating this day

I have died a thousand deaths
And all inbetween was just wasted away
I have drawn each of my breaths
In anticipation of this day

My first day of living
Instead of surviving
Of getting for giving
And a dead heart reviving

Lend me your dreams to dream them
To navigate me out of this fray
Ignore my heresies, I didn’t mean them
I was just anticipating this day

I have sold my soul a thousand times
For illusions that melted away
I’ve locked bits of it in rhymes
In anticipation of this day

My first day of living
Instead of surviving
Of getting for giving
And a dead heart reviving
