The Canopy

You woke up a dead spark inside that had been named obsolete,
positioned next to my heart
so it'd never miss a beat
The serge it flooded my bloodstream
and tucked underneath my sleeve
So every time I wiped my nostrils
electric shocks when I breathe
Ive been running from this underwater feeling for so long
I handed you my rubble and you turned it into song
You fixed a dent in my head That I didn't know was there
Let alone needed repaired and now the spark it just sits there and sings

I
Thought I was free from feeling things again
Numbness had begun to become my new normal
I thought that sparks only came to life and lived when you wanted them?
I never asked for them
Their lighting up my cranium
I only wanted them cos numbness cant be normal
Thought I was free from feeling things again
Especially feeling anything again for someone
I thought I'd become numb

You caught sight of a hyper armadillo
In a forest of green,
Bouncing on it's hammock and a sloth enters the scene
At such a rapid speed
With its wristwatch running slow
It was late for manic armadillo's
picnic at the canopy.

They arranged it dialing tree rings
Calling branch to branch
Is today any good?
The sloth replied
"Let's make it Saturday".
Armadillo laughed and said,
"Today is Saturday".
Sloth said
"That's short notice but I'll meet you at the canopy".
And the spark it just sits there and it sings

I
Thought I was free from feeling things again
Numbness had begun to become my new normal
I thought that sparks only came to life and lived when you wanted them?
I never asked for them their lighting up my cranium
I only wanted them cos numbness cant be normal
Thought I was free from feeling things again
Especially feeling anything again for someone
I thought I'd become numb

You woke up a dead spark inside that had been named obsolete
Is it too late to say one day
I hope to meet you at the canopy?
