We’re just the shadows of the people we used to be
They ran away in the woods, all thoughts left behind
You trailed your way towards the abyss, the empty
I told you to jump, not to change your mind

We tend to wish for things we don’t need
We tend to long for feelings we don’t believe

You opened your eyes and you pushed me
Into the open, into the sea

Do you ever wonder:

Why the rain falls on every gloomy day,
Why the tears fall in a systematic way,
Why the paintings on the wall never look away,
Why the books on the shelf never decay,
Why the words never really obey,
Why you can never meet me halfway,
When really, you're not even that far away.

Do you ever wonder: *why?

Lie to me.

Tell me that you need me just as much as I feel you.
Tell me that you see me just as clearly as I hear you.
Tell me that you’ll kiss me and I’ll be true.

Under this blanket is a whole new world.
Where you can be mine and I can be yours and no one else exists.
Where they can’t reach us with words and stares and threats and hate.

Come under this blanket with me.
