This time, I'm sailing . . .

You can let go now.
I've got you.

She breathes in...and exhales the burden of you
You disappear amongst the flood of trees and
the voices and sounds of the background take you
away from her

Freedom overtakes...it overcomes...

You can let go now.
I've got you.

Overcome

My lover asks me:
"What is the difference between me and the sky?"

The difference, my love,
Is that when you laugh, I forget about the sky.

Attention

ask her.
do it.
it doesn't take very long, you don't even have to think about it.

notice.
pay attention...why isn't there attention?

the world's slowly crashing
the sky is falling...
ask her.

don't assume she has shelter.
ask her.

does it take courage?
then i wish for you strength...

she needs it, hurry

ask her:
"how are you feeling?
do things feel heavy today?
can i hold you and help you through the chaos?"

break the silence
break the cycles

ask her.
attention...why isn't there attention?
