the words don't reach us here
we could stay in this moment forever
enjoying the silence
breathing each other's air
not talking
barely moving
loving each other endlessly
maybe that's really all we need
maybe that's all I want

i got used to the patterns of cracks in my ceiling
to the sound of the dripping faucet
to the dusty countertops
to the shrieking wooden stairs
to the mold in the bathroom
to my mom in the couch
to the alcohol in the cupboard
to the drugs hidden behind the coffee bean jar
to the secrets behind closed doors
to the pain that's hidden in here
a familiar house
a familiar feeling
I got used to my childhood

as the air flew trough the sky
and my mind wandered off
to a place I called home
a place I had never been before

your screams became quiet
and your eyes stopped cutting through my skin

and I flew
to a place I've always known
a forever
a safe
a home

a place you'll never be
a place I'll always be

you shone so bright
I saw sparkles in your eyes
like the stars in the sky that night

now all I you feel is pain
your eyes are left empty
I'm sorry I left that day

I don't know when
I don't know why

but I feel the ropes you had tied around me
have snapped

you still desperately tug at them
trying to get me back
trying to tie me up again

but my connection broke
your ties broke

I can finally move
I can finally breathe
I'm finally free

when I leave
would you remember?
when I run
would we run together?
when I'm done with everything, when I move away and change my name
would you still think of me the same?
