Backwards

Walking down the path where I get lost every time

Stepping over lines not to get caught by the tide

A morning dew smell

A fine wind made the grass bend

A weird bridge cracked by alligators in fright

Yes, I'm going backwards

Stuck in a sequence

Goin' back and forth on repeat

With no one to stop me

And no one to stop me

I'm still this troubled kid doing math on summer break

Still hitting my head hard by jumpin' on my bed

Dried glue on hands, patches on my pants

I'd go lick the rain

Drops in midair

Yes, I'm going backwards

Stuck in a sequence

Goin' back and forth on repeat

With no one to stop me

And no one to stop me

I hear the void loud

My eardrums both sigh

I hear a voice now

Shouting my name out

I curl up in my safe sphere

But nothing ever heals there

Appearing across lands

A kid I haven't seen in years

'Guess I'm going backwards

Stuck in a sequence

Goin' back and forth on repeat

With no one to stop me

And no one to stop me
