from Primal by Everson Poe

lyrics

she spied a structure in the distance
an otherwise unnoticeable dot
across miles of water
with no bridge in sight

she stepped into the water
and allowed it to fill her lungs
but drowning was not her destiny
and she walked onward beneath the waves

there is nothing
i want to become

her feet never failed to carry her forward
a straight line from shore to destination
embedded in the sand and washed away by the current
her eyes fixed on the spot as it grew closer

finally, the ground sloped upward and she emerged
a small circle of sand that protruded above the water's surface
in the center, floating above the ground was an emptiness
she reached out a hand to touch it and disappeared

there is nothing
i want to become
