Amphibian

It's been a long time since i hurt
In the absence of reason
Breathing in water and in dirt
Amphibious
It's been a long time

It's been a long time since i heard
The words that i'm speaking
Soft as the wool of listless lambs
On the verge of the bleeding
It's been a long time

I steal
The words that fall from her
Red lips
Not like i hoped
And i know
I want it all wrong

Searching the pages for a time
When words still had meaning
Searching the words for any sign
If this is dignity...
It's been a long time
