rose Lyrics

There is no humanity in this place

There are only beings of unflinching will and strength

Committed to themselves and each other

Speaking different languages and all meaning the same thing

Secretly wishing their strength was unneeded

All bearing witness to the changing unending tides

Can you see it?

The rivers cut through everything here

Their water is special

But not to anyone on the inside of the walls

Here the water breathes life in these drifters

These beings who are blissfully lost

Everyone here is destined to sink

For breathing underwater is what we all dream to do

But how is it even possible?

When the water is so cold

It's like a javelin through my back

It pins me to the ground

It eats my breath it kicks at my knees and screams in my ears

It slithers down my neck and into my chest

I don't know why but I'm still drawn to it

The water is so cold

And yet

I find myself at the edge of a river

Encouraged by patient peers

The time will come where I will be submerged in its waters

I will not drown I will not crack apart

I will flow

Baptized and reborn

Embracing my inhumanity
