Somewhere in you

Somewhere in you there is a kettle a hollow space;

Somewhere in you there is a kettle a hollow space; once filled

Somewhere in you there is a kettle a hollow space; once filled with all those ideas

Somewhere in you there is a kettle a hollow space; once filled with all those ideas your mother held dear.

Except now it's only you

Except now it's only you and the echo

Except now it's only you and the echo which made this hole it's home.

Every time you speak you hear the rerun

Every time you speak you hear the rerun of every misstep

Every time you speak you hear the rerun of every misstep that one by one

Every time you speak you hear the rerun of every misstep that one by one has built a stair

Every time you speak you hear the rerun of every misstep that one by one has built a stair one inescapable

Every time you speak you hear the rerun of every misstep that one by one has built a stair one inescapable as your genome.

Unless of course, you find yourself lost to the point in which your mind gives up

Unless of course, you find yourself lost to the point in which your mind gives up and surrenders control;

that's when every mistake

that's when every mistake becomes the syndrome

that's when every mistake becomes the syndrome of a singular
