in.sane.

out of sight
out of mind
i'm screwing my eyes closed
sealing these wet eyelashes
they were heavy anyway
and im going to climb into this darkness
freefalling away from you
i read some where
that everything falls at the same rate
so i'm going to jump this cliff
before you finish those silver slick words
and you'll never catch me
because me and these clouds
we're one and the same
old friends
saltwater always falls in company
and baby i was never alone

guess you would know
whats her name?
the one that was sun to my moon
because you could never do it alone
how did you make it
those minutes lost in travel
from one open heart to another
did the demons creep in close
or were you too fast for them
speaking of speed
watch me fly

and i'll never hear those words
sliding through your lips
like iron to a magnet
bullets to a target
and i'm tired of being lit up
by these little red dots
aim squeeze fire
and i won't shoot you down
ause what goes around
comes back
and i'm going to choose beyond
instead of being trapped in behind

so before you say goodbye
im gonna catch this flight
and these familiar seas
that spilled from me
they'll catch me at the bottom
and teach how to swim again

out of sight. out of mind.

they always said i was crazy.
now i see i was just blind.

and i won't shoot you down
cause what goes around
comes back

and i don't want to die.
however cathartic it might seem.
at the time.
i think
i'd forget to love.
{or say good-bye}

and if you left.
where would i be?

if i left you
left you behind
in this nightmare wonderland
you'd be fine
learn to draw yourself laws
give yourself gravity
and moment by moment
youll outgrow me
learn what real strength is
living and learning
not leaving and burning
up your ashes behind you
and you'll say...
she was beautiful.
and afraid.
