one at a time (?i don't know. i just wrote and let it come out)

now listening to: in rainbows by radiohead
(this is amAzing!)

i am here, i am here, i am here, i am here, i am hearing everything, but am i ever listening, listening to myself, i can't hear myself thinking, thinking of all the times i was not perfect, all the times i made mistakes, mistakes built up like sand castles, brought down by crashing waves, waves hello, waves goodbye, waves of heat, they all come crashing, crashing windows, crashing walls, crashing hopes, hopes of what is yet to come, come by when it wants, it wants nothing more than that, that it could come by, bye, bye, bye, as we all sigh, sight and sound surround this whole town and brings us down, down the hill, into the city, the lights are ignoring the sidewalk today, today will only come when it is passed away, away with you, away with you, you gave all you had to, all you had to say was "take all this away", did you, or did you stay, stay and remain calm, one at a time, single-file line, please, one at a time, we all sing together, one at a time, let it all out, shout if you have to, one at a time, time and time and time again, make everything your best friend, except your best friends, no sense, no sense at all, all at once, breathe, scream, and sing, one at a time, time to think, time to remember what it was like, like you, like me, like when this was all so easy, like and dislikes given so easily, easily forgotten how rotten things can be, be calm, calm down, down to the city, walk the streets, follow the sidewalk, remember to breathe, all at once, one at a time, time is enough, enough of some goes a long way, a long way to go, way to go, you made it this far, all to do now is to do the same, same as you done, done thus far, all at once, one at a time.

shalom.
