What It Is - Sophie Hunger

It’s up above my head

It’s way down in the mud

It’s not something that I said

It’s something in my blood

It’s up above my head

It’s somewhere in my kidney

Somewhere in my red

It’s out there and it’s in me

I don’t know what it is

I don’t know what it is

I don’t know what it is

But it’s all that I have

It’s not the bones under your skin

Not the spelling of your name

It’s not the things you take inside before the rain

It’s not the shot of your gun

Or the sugar in your cane

It’s not the tickets to the plays that you have seen

It’s not the reflection in the mirror

Not the shining of your silver

Not the most important things you think you’ve done

And no, it’s not what you have cancelled

Not the calls you didn’t answer

It’ll still be there when you are long time gone

I don’t know what it is

I don’t know what it is

I don’t know what it is

But it’s all that I have

It’s up above my head

It’s always and it’s never

It’s me that’s part of it

A second in forever
