I feel my heart shrinking without light, without air feel the pressure increasing no space anywhere Crushing, constricting screams muted by lies but what will remain if anything does A fish out of water a bird thrown to the ground Adapting? Surviving? Or wilting, drying out I plucked myself I broke my core Now I'm left with the pieces I forced out of the puzzle and the puzzle keeps changing I can't put them back This hole in my chest frayed edges, torn pages For nothing, a thing Here I stand Withering

Withering
Is this it? Is it? Can it be? Is this who I am now? Can need **** the wish? How will I fare? Or will I just fail? And do I want to - oh, what do I want? What oh what oh what oh what? If a dream is a wish made by the heart do we **** the heart when we give up the wish? The dream - it's dead. Can the heart beat without it? This new beginning... Oh, it feels like the end.

Says Fear
Going round in circles always and forever remote in hand but I'll puke before I hit stop I never hit stop And they are waving waving at me love in their eyes Saying 'get off now' 'get off, it's enough' The world won't stop why can't it stop why won't it wait for me to get off But I'll never get off They are still waving but their smiles are fading I see the crowd behind them they've stopped caring they used to care And I start feeling sick again and again But if I just go faster if I just close my eyes maybe then I'll forget And they're still waving but I try not to look I just close my eyes 'cause I won't get off I'll never get off They wave and they scream but I pretend I don't hear I just keep going round and the world disappears
