For Those Wicked Walsh Parents;
ONCE
WHEN I BREATHED LIQUID
I
WAS PURE AND CLEAN
FOREVER……
NOW
THAT I BREATHE
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE IS DIRTIED
BY DOUBT;
DIRTIED IN TURN
BY ANGER AND FEAR……
ONCE
WHEN I BREATHED LIQUID
I
WAS ONE,
WILD
AND FREE…..
ONCE
WHEN I BREATHED LIQUID LOVE/I WAS
NOT ALONE/NEVER APART FROM ME AND MINE,/I
WAS MOST AT HOME … /…. NOW THAT I BREATHE
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE /THE AIR THAT I BREATHE IS
AIR TO BE BREATHED
AS ONE/
ONCE
WHEN I BREATHED LIQUID
I HAD WINGS WITH WHICH TO FLY/IN MY
QUIET BIRTHWATER
I DIDN’T SCREAM/IN MY
SILENT BIRTHWATER I
WAS LIGHT ……. .
I’M NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK #59
