i like the sound of my heartbeat
it tells me i'm alive
and it pounds so hard it shakes my bed
it's been a bad week
the tears on my steering wheel say so
and my breath leaves my body so fast
my spirit screams
i am not me
letters and numbers
and pictures on my walls
endless summers
ending in risky falls
ready or not here i come
if i let go the fist my life is done
i open my eyes and suddenly no one's there
everyone i love disappears
i like the feel of the pulses
it tells me i'm alive
like a wire, don't touch me
i'll burn your hand
it's hard for me to speak
the lump in my throat won't let me breathe
and my eyes close so tight i cannot see
things aren't what they seem
letters and numbers and pictures in my head
like a movie that plays over and over again
you're ready, i'm not
but here i come
if i let go the fist my life is done
i open my eyes and suddenly nothing's there
everyone i love disappears
and it's not like my hand's not out there
how loud must i shout, my throat hurts
i'm grabbing, i'm reaching
i'm falling, i'm sinking
i'm weakened
so it's written
the days are dark
the moon is blood
the sun is gone
everyone
everyone i love disappears.........
