This back and forth
Between us both
Has certainly served a purpose
But now we know
Our virtue exists
Merely on the surface
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
This back and forth
Between us both
Has certainly served a purpose
But now we know
Our virtue exists
Merely on the surface
And so it begins
The incessant counting
The overthinking
The fear mounting
That impending doom
Will certainly strike
If I do not get
This pattern right
