Heat and Dark

For what it's worth
 There's nowhere else that I belong
 Dust and earth
 Feeling weak where I felt strong
 And all these days
 I spend my seconds foolishly
 For through my gaze
 There's only so much I can see
 So here we are
 Though I can barely tell at all
 In heat and dark
 Lying low where I stood tall
 And still, I wait
 For total pitch, or clarity
 Spinning straight
 Through crushing heat and cool release
 And I'll be here
 To watch the passing of the days
 Not calm, not clear
 Just time to settle in my ways
 So here we are
 Though I can barely tell at all
 In heat and dark
 Lying low where I stood tall
 So here we are
 Though I can barely tell at all
 In heat and dark
 Lying low where I stood tall
 To wait, now
 And forfeit all I've gained
 For this?
 It just feels too familiar, but somehow
 The places I have been
 All stay the same
