where have you been? dwelling within…
man did you yet forget? not my intent, my mind slips so wet
i tried ‘n’ i tried i can’t find my own design.. it’s fine, it’s fine, but yr inside has died
why – what can be mine? it’s not always bright where thee sun always shines
you’ve fallen asleep again i’ll believe but i don’t know when
where do we go from here? close to hope far away from fear
it’s not always bright where the sun always shines
\\\
i’ll be going down ain’t no turning around
bones are breaking down going underground…

3.14159 slips off the tongue, tongue slips on dragonfly medium medium greedy ones
& from the circle’s perspective i look like a line side by side hope lies on the other side
70 times 70 more than 70 times 70 times 70 more than 70 times
fine i’m reminded i’m alive 1 for talk back 2 for despair
design not mine i can’t decide why I 7 for proclaiming that God doesn’t really even care
know that i’ll find more when i die 60 more for each second in each minute that passes by
70 times 70 more than 70 times 70 times 70 more than 70 times…
