Your eyes drift through the surface
From this world to the next
Your breathing will slow and wither
As you breathe your final breath

I know you're somewhere out there
Speaking softly to me, too
But the cold is too harsh to handle under the dark side of the moon

The only ones I learned to love were the ones who loved me back
Who gave me life, what gave me hope, and who showed me what I lack
And when he faded out of sight , I swear
I lost myself that night

I count the days until we'll meet
But what way is that to live?
he'd want me to be happy and make a life with a home and kids, and well
I want to see him shining down with a smile on his face
I want him to cover me in his love and feel his warm embrace
Light, radiating light, I need it in my life
When I lost him, I became the darkness
But at least I gained a light.

the clouds will draw their curtains
and tears of mercury will ignite the sky
burning holes into the greenest of the grasses
tearing holes into homes,
tearing holes into our mind
but I will remain.

Tornados may swirl above me
a luminescent glow of gray and blue
cutting like a million knives
in the flesh of the earth
but I am sure I will remain.

I will wake up one day and you are not here
to hold me in your arms like you once did
when all I feel is my arms pressed tightly around my chest.
I am alone,
and I am angry
but my heart will remain.

when the people you love do not love you anymore,
and the sky turns an ominous shade of black,
you will cry and you will drown.
the seeds to which you had blossomed will die
and your leaves of everlasting light will decay
but the soil is intact, the roots are concealed from harm
and your soul shall flourish
and your soul shall remain
just as mine did
when my pedals began to die.

I heard someone call your name today
It wasn't what I expected
They repeated your name a million times
I think they wanted your attention

I heard someone call your name today
And it made me kinda sad
It reminded me of all the times we shared
And all of the times we never had

When I heard someone call your name today,
It didn't make me happy
I closed my eyes, and saw your face
Printed in my memory
For once, I wished it would disappear

Because when they called your name today,
I knew it wasn't for you.
The echos of the screeching noise
Repeating like a record
Over and over again
It was 3am and I was wide awake
And I knew it meant no good.

They didn't call your name today,
They haven't in a while.
I thought your voice was in the sirens
Propelling down my street
Calling me, pleading me
To be with you again
But just as I thought I could grasp hold and reach you,
My hands came up empty
and the sirens faded away.

everyone, at one point,
has considered themselves
to be a waste of space.

but has one ever thought
this world to be the
waste of space?

all the time
spent in classrooms or
possibly even a tiny cubical
with the only person
in this whole world
who you just can't stand to be around.

all of the hours wasted
on pointless **** that could
have been used
exploring
writing
creating who you want to be.

so what are we in the end of it all?
nothing.
