Baby I can see better from way out here
From the trenches I yelled for you to breath
As I tried to gasp for air myself
I fought a tireless battle
Too close for vision
I couldnt see you drowning
Water filling both our lungs
Baby I couldn’t see you drowning
I can’t.
I can’t.
I can’t.
Baby. I couldn’t hear you
All I could see was I wouldn’t

He leaves through the door
unaware of when he will return
For hes fighting wars unknown
He’s a soldier of sorts
but mostly
A slave to his mind

Sweetheart this weight is too heavy
And I belong to too many
And if it were better baby
I still couldn’t be you  
But Baby I love you
And I don’t want you to go

Does he know who you are?
Does he know what he has?
You sit in silence
Pain within
does he know your seeping scars?

Does he know your empty arms?
Does he know where you are?
You wonder round
Lost again
Does he know your aching heart?

Do you know his trembling lips?
Do you know his careless steps?
His dying words
His fraudulence
Do you know who this man is?

Do you know his prying eyes?
Do you know his fingertips?
Curled in his palm
Hurting you
And hurting him

Do you know the healing path?
Do you know the weight within?
Sinking down
Covered round
Do you know what freedom is?

I killed myself for you
You have the audacity to parade around
Taking the same steps home everyday
While I lie in the road waiting to be stepped on once again
How dare I assume that through me would allow another open path
I had nothing you wanted
Maybe I was just a place you visited
A ******* tourist trap
I reeled you in and you saw hope
But you have to return home somehow
You won’t know the emptiness you’ve left
The worlds attempt to make you stay
But you left as carelessly as you stayed

One day I hope to see beauty in a sunset
Without a reminder of the beauty you saw in me
I hope to look back and not want you
Because of the beauty I saw in you
Because of the beauty I felt in you.

Laying here
I'm overwhelmed
This world is too big
without you
I'm drowning in it's endless space
in my ceaseless sheets
