North Haven Drive

Take me to North Haven Drive Let me be free of this tumultuous mind Where limbs are twisted like branches in a storm The wind is spreading my ashes again I must rewire myself to float in the vast sea without resistance And you know what? I long to be free, to grow wings and fly over the cityscapes And the clouds, and float with the ash of recent eruptions I know I'm a selfish companion and a critic And a relentless warrior That is why I cannot promise that you will leave unwounded For I am the hermit in the dark Bringing frost with every waking step I do feel myself pushing back, you know? Trying to convince those who love me That I am to be rid of I am the sin and the snake in the Garden of Eden I feel myself breathing fire for no reason To those around me Restrictions that hold me down leave me angry That is why I must run --- North Haven Drive - Kirsten Ludwig
