we were never

a million grains away

I’m inching nearer, but you sink deeper still

saying we are all the same, one million of ones

as deceitful and shrewd as you, we are one

there is no salvation, and there is no way of getting closer

there will always be a million of grains between us

a million of ways you have been distrusted and disillusioned

it is cold where you are, and cold is your soul

my fire burns, it hisses and heaves

as I sink deeper with you, still a million grains away
