inspired by Chanson's poem Pull Yourself Together, Girl. I'm not much of a lyricist, but here it is.

Breathe: A Song

Verse
Sunlight splitting my eyes
Pull yourself together girl
Beating torrents of slicing pain
Wrenching my body in two
Pull yourself together girl
Words like gilded serpents
Slither in and around my carcass body

Chorus
My head throbbing
Throat aching to speak just
A monochromatic plea
Pull yourself together girl
Physicality fades faster
Mind versus matter
All over again
Pull yourself together girl

Verse
Death is just a memory and
This river so much like the Severn
Is just mere illusion
Pull yourself together girl
A tattoo of non-coherent syllables
Patterns itself to my neck
Drumming slowly
Getting more infinitesimal by the second
Pull yourself together girl

Chorus
My head throbbing
Throat aching to speak just
A monochromatic plea
Pull yourself together girl
Physicality fades faster
Mind versus matter
All over again
Pull yourself together girl

Bridgish…
Moloch’s not be trusted
While he relishes in ambiguity

Chorus
My head throbbing
Throat aching to speak just
A monochromatic plea
Pull yourself together girl
Physicality fades faster
Mind versus matter
All over again
Pull yourself together girl

Verse
Pull yourself together girl
Breathe

Wow.

CL, this song is so beautiful! Do you have the music for it? If so, I would love to hear it.


And you are very much so a lyricist.
