Whale's Mouth by Mountainess

When you wake up in the whale’s mouth
Dark blue dreamer
Where there are no teeth to chew the doubt
Of a once great believer
Will you run for cover as water rushes over
Everything you thought was certain?
Just when you thought you’d stopped learning

You were sure that you controlled your heart
Hush loud beating
But it shakes you when your guard is down
In the wide-eyed evening
Calling out for meaning just to hear the crickets’ song

You’re too consumed to ever see things as they are
You’re too consumed to ever see things as they are

And the air is stale inside your head
So unsteady
And you know those thoughts keep rolling in
But you’re not ready
No matter how you beg the scrimshaw in your brain is
Etched in pain your can’t stop feeling
Salted wounds you thought were healing

You’re too consumed to ever see things as they are
You’re too consumed to ever see things as they are
As they are

No matter how many hands you see
Slick in the oil of rescuing
We’re all inside of here too
