Away it goes

Ak van 2001 (Ethiopia)



Is it that dark I mumble
am I that indistnictive and ordinary
I bleed in the corners I find
l drown in the oceans I felt
I poke my self in the eye
I erase every touch to my skin
run from all the love and the sin
bad luck stabs me in the back, drinking all the blood in my vein
claiming it's right over me carving on my skin as much as it can
I plot my escape but love never came to mind
I try to run tightening the rope around my leg
I try to crawl but my lies hold me in place
