Petals In The Grass

Reincarnate

Splinters under my finger nails
As I try and claw my way
Through this pine box
I'm very hot in my favorite suit
Can barely move
Can't see at all
What did I do to deserve this?
I want to touch the ones I love
At least one more time
Stop
Don't lower me
I need to breathe the air
Everyone come back to me
I'm not ready for the soil
Please reincarnate me just once
I promise this time to live
Where is my pen and paper?
Where are my words?
I still have something left to say
