If I say it
Would you believe
It
Or would you whisper
To the god
That we don’t
Believe in
For an answer
I think you’ll need
This
A reason to stay
A reason to live
It’s not so
Far away
The terrifying
Endless mind
Of a burning heart
You want to
Know
My beautiful secrets
But you’d make a
Liar
Out of me
Living through open
Eyes
But seeing nothing
Hands itching with anticipation
But touching nothing
Waiting
For a wake up call
That’s lost
In the mail
Oh, what a loss
To live through
Once again
I especially enjoy
The fall
Most of all
That breaks your heart
And proves them right
It’s an exhausting
Life
Falling in love
Then falling apart
Five times a day
Tell me
Did you know
That you had
It all
The rain
Pouring on your
Face
And the sugar sweet
Sun
Comes out
To make you a
Man
Again
