we danced
on shattered glass
and ran towards toxic gas
we are not looking for suicide

we just want to escape

I always imagined
it was the dark that wouldn't let me go
surprise surprise how you made me realize

it was me the whole time,
it was me clinging to the dark,
I'm the one who needs the dark beside me,
I'm the one who kept avoiding letting the light in

I'm so ready to leave this world,
just stab me with the sword,
made of your sharpened words

off you go,
like an bald eagle,
never leave without your ego.

sitting by the window,
looking at my shadow,
criticizing the world being critical.
