i am not coming
the road withdraws its tongue
two separate cities
monitored by a shared sun
i'll sing in your direction
i'll contain my blood
you'll be happy on your island
until the time of flood
i'm retreating into the shadows
into the imprints of the rain
i've stepped foot across the border
and dropped letters from my name
i'm leaving, leaving, leaving again
rotting on the insides
running from the shame
