i'm feeling dead
my heart's full of dread
my body aches
my hands shake
my mind's numb
i'll just keep chewing my gum
to stay attached
to this world that's come
and torn me apart

looking at your blueberry eyes
underneath the cotton candy skies
listening to the world crash down
around us

yet there were no sounds
only your fake bounds
that brought us to our sadness

so we danced the night away
as the skies turned to grey
that was the day
i was no longer astounded
