I want to pull away from this. From you. I want to just stop and act like we never got close. I want to act like you never became my rock. I want to pretend like you don't know how to make me smile
or laugh when I don't want to. I want to do this because I am afraid. Afraid of falling in love with you even when I know you would never feel the same in return. Afraid to get my heart broken. Afraid to once again get hurt. Afraid to put my faith in someone else. I am so afraid.

days and weeks blend and fade together 
it’s getting harder to know whether 
things are real or just all in my mind

i’m trying to find

a balance some peace some reality

a sense of being whole and free

i’m trying to find me.

A slanted whisper
holds onto feeling for thoughts left sinister

we have reasons
we have concerns
give us reason
make us concerned

i'm tired of jumping off rails just to land on pointless stones

i crushed my bones and i'm left with no undertone

scream to the sky
scream for the idea
scream to feel helpless
scream for your lover
scream and tell the tale
scream for the end of hope

scream cause we all came close
a tribute to the end of the world

— The End —
