depth perception from days & days by Michael Gerard

if i could make a mountain it would start just like a pearl,
with one grain of hope deep within the belly of the world

but i can only chance upon the valleys of the ones
who came before, their chants just floating on the surface of the core

if i could make a map i'd do it like a tangle would and
leave the straight and narrow to those who would think
they're good,

but i've only my own mistakes to teach me
what i should have asked the ones who came
before me also walked this crooked path

there is not chance but what you want
there is no vision only depth perception
as they say, you've
got it or you don't.
