Don't Forget the Planets - Ashes You Leave

I’m holding up Neptune

On a raft that’s not sinking

Maybe reach out to Venus

And feel it embrace me

I’m holding on hostage

On a raft that’s not sinking

I should reach out to Venus

From a point I would rather not know

Let me in

Let me in

Let me in

Like the sun through the blinds

I’m transversing the northern star

Driving stakes through the ground

Counting steps between

Life passes quickly

I’m measuring the fanthomless

Diving towards all the water around me

I dive but I’d rather not go

I feel it

Taking

Breathing

Down on me

Drowning

Diving deeper

All the water

Around me

The planets

They must be

Let in as well

Let me in

Let me in

Let me in

Like sunlight through the blinds
