When survival is a Must


It's about us,

the rain

the front of the stage

the crowd behind you

 

It's about us,

the birds,

the wind,

your very first friend

you had the day

when

it was the end

 

It's about us

The sounds,

the mouths,

feeding in restaurants,

the chatter

that taunts the silence,

the laughter

that taunts the violence

 

It's about us,

When we've left each other

when we've left hurt

when we've left love

when we've left him,

when we've left her

 

above the standard

 

It's about us

when we are above the matters

at hand

below

the feeling of the sand

between your feet,

i'm bitting between your teeth,

Aren't i?

because I,

will never mean anything at all,

if i don't trust myself when i say,

 

If i don't trust...

that in this life,

 

when survival is a must...

if i don't trust...

...in this life,

 

It's about us
