Further From The Surface

The air’s cancerous, and I'm the black cloud that fills the sky
A fading vapor hovering above things I have uprooted

Is there anyway I could ask you to leave here?
I know it’s selfish
I’ll show you it’s worth it

The ground feels so unstable
The earth swallows my steps
Standing still will only make things worse
Could I change your mind?

The air’s cancerous, and I'm the black cloud that fills the sky
A fading vapor hovering above our loss

In some ways it’s perfect that in most ways we’re flawed
Will we feel a release once evaporated?

This world breeds like an animal, invasive and inept
As a parasite, I felt remorse for bleeding soil dry

The air’s cancerous, and I'm the black cloud that fills the sky
A fading vapor hovering above our loss
