Homegrown in a Cyclone

alone in a cycle

I was homegrown in a cyclone, simple straight lines to abide by, but I don’t know where they go.

Alone in a cycle, building me up pushing my luck, breaking back down so low.

I don’t know where I am now, but I don’t think that I care.

So long since I’ve seen the ground, it’s hard to trust it’s still there.

Lost hope on a bank note, typewriter tears, tap into my fears that I can’t hold out.

Alone on a tightrope, holding my breath, give my best guess how to get ‘round self-doubt.

I don’t know where I am now, but I'm to tired to be scared.

So long since I’ve seen the ground, it might as well not be there.
