Walking Sideways

Water line is fine, this final ocean, water line at last
Finding this final piece of map is fine, nonetheless
Who, did you think you were, a year ago this time?
Who, did you lose and is it, really fine?

And you can’t, you can’t replace what you lose
You break, through inevitable, are you
Get with yourself at the end of the day

And I don’t know what it is that makes me so mad
But I feel right there
Massage my temples, touch my forehead, turn into air
The black is telling me to follow in
Unusually, I’m tempted and I don’t care, if I win

Because what’s winning if you lose?
And I’m okay, I’m okay, I’m fine
With myself, at the end of the day

Walking backwards, walking forwards, at my own expense
Maybe if I tried walking sideways things would make more sense
Redecorate your living room, redecorate your house
Redecorate your face and darling, don't look at me, and pout

Because what’s winning if you’re losing?
And I’m okay, I’m okay, I’m okay, I’m fine
With myself at the end of the day
