This air is so thick, it’s so stale and so raw The humidity makes everything stick And no matter how many times I try I can't seem to let you go Care free times have turned into dysfunctional moments When did good memories fill me with happiness? An epiphany blooms in the abyss of my mind: Our lives cross paths frequently But you will never be mine My Romeo, I am no longer your Juliet That ship has sailed, and my heart and life with it And now every meeting and every word uttered between us Is intolerable For now I see you are a disease A growing colossus of dread, earthed deep in my chest Suckling and breeding in my heart You desperately cling on to the loose fibers of my soul And while things fall apart I quickly try to stitch it back together Stop hurting me Help me get over you Because every speck of hope you plant in me makes it harder To turn and stay away I’m begging you to leave.

the bittersweet taste of freedom
This air is so thick, it’s so stale and so raw The humidity makes everything stick And no matter how many times I try I can't seem to let you go Care free times have turned into dysfunctional moments When did good memories fill me with happiness? An epiphany blooms in the abyss of my mind: Our lives cross paths frequently But you will never be mine My Romeo, I am no longer your Juliet That ship has sailed, and my heart and life with it And now every meeting and every word uttered between us Is intolerable For now I see you are a disease A growing colossus of dread, earthed deep in my chest Suckling and breeding in my heart You desperately cling on to the loose fibers of my soul And while things fall apart I quickly try to stitch it back together Stop hurting me Help me get over you Because every speck of hope you plant in me makes it harder To turn and stay away I’m begging you to leave.
