Yesterday i stood at the edge of my world looking at the people scatter like marbles across an oil slick
The earth crumbled at my feet and fell from my world to theirs
Dirty water in my veins kept my eyes open
Black smoke in my lungs kept my faith asleep
And i stood on the edge
Watched them scatter like marbles
Hands digging in an empty pocket looking for wasted years
Voices begin to reach from below
They sounds familiar and there is no introduction
The assumtion is that I recall them all
I do not
The cool sweet breeze carries the voices to my level
They start at my feet and begin to travel up my body
Sending a chill threw my whole being
This is the first thing i have truly felt ever since I reached the peak of this mountain
My isolation
Still i do not recall
I feel the voice turn into hands, cold hands they are on my shoulders
Suddenly I feel much older
The voice tells me to open my eyes and jump
My faith had risen from sleep and is speaking to me
Patience has run out and urgency rests on my shoulders ready to push me off this mountain top I have created in my head
My eyes have been opened and now i fall quickly from the lonely mountain
Back into the world
With all the marbles scattering
Dirty water runs from vein to tearducts
Black smoke clears out of my lungs threw my screams
I plummet from isolation to population
Passing all those wasted years and manufactored tears
And i am free and safe falling wrapped tight in my forgotten faith
I now join the scatter
I am a marble
You are my mountain
