The grass isnt greener on the other side,
Its very dark and shadows linger worse than old lovers,
The sky isnt very majestic anymore but more dull and washed out,
The stars arent there anymore to keep you company when youre sad,
Youre just floating with no emotion pumping through your soul,
Youre just swimming in freezing water and you feel at home,
The grass is really sharp so please stay on the pavement.

I can feel the gasoline drip from your body like sweat,
I can see the bruises your lover left on your legs,
your hands are shaking and tears are running down your face,
you scream "wanna see a magic trick?"
youre only speaking to the walls and the space between the flames,
theres something so beautiful about destroying the things you love,
your heart was so cold all you wanted was some heat.

I love every inch of you,
every vein in your body,
every atom in your dna,
even those little details that you hate so much,
I could write about the universe inside you,
how stardust is pouring out of you,
how I get chills when you whisper my name,
I could sing all day with the trace of your lips imprinted onto mine,
Im infatuated with every molecule in your body,
I wish I was the plasma running through your veins,
I wish I was the energy running through your aura.

You make my heart sink like stones in the ocean,
But you also make me feel like Im floating,
I never really understood this feeling,
How easily it is to drown,
When you thought you could swim.

Your voice is my subconscious,
Your lips are my medicine,
You are the cup of coffee that I need in the morning,
You are the long shower I need when I'm feeling a bit blue,
I'm the long and restless nights that drive you insane,
I'm the disease that you feel in your bones,
I don't have the slightest clue,
Why I'm in love with you.

My shadow lingers on my skin,
Just like the memory of you,
The way your lips used to trace,
The way your fingers used to map out,
The way your eyes used to gaze,
Man oh man,
Why does something so amazing have to fade,
Why does everything so sad have to stay.

I'm so awake,
The universe is within me,
I'm floating up in the sky,
My mind is enlightened,
I've become so lonely,
I've made up my own universe,
The sky is gray matter,
The trees are mountains,
I cannot tell the difference,
My dreams are so vivid.
