I am perfect
I am broken
I’m adored
I’m unspoken
I am lonely
I’m contented
I am sane
I’m half demented
I’m belief
I am science
I am peace
I am defiance
I’m the cause
I’m effect
I am sober
I am wrecked 
I’m a whisper
I’m a quiet
I’m a loser
I am on fire
I’m an extra
I’m director
I’m a pen drop
I’m Phill Spector
I am nothing
I’m forever
I am right now
I am never
I am brilliant
I am done
I am deep blue
I am ZX 81
I am black and white
I am color
I am risk
I am mother
I am holy
I’m disaster
I am fucked
I am an answer
When all these fragments start to roar
Playing like an orchestra
Sometimes it’s hard to hear yourself think
It’s like the words are crawling back inside the ink
