i fear you
the boy who can make the moonlight whimsical
the sunshine sultry
he made a path for you in the sky so you could see
he made an upside down world

the rose of his lips are compass rose
his words directs you to the northern lights
compass lips move in warm circles
making the world spin on your flesh
so heavy you might be smashed

Its all a dream and the world was him
And he was the world.
The world made a path so you could see
Through whimsical moons and sultry suns
He had not made an upside down world
The world had made an upside down boy
It was because you have given him all the power of the world.

Ever since I realized this I have sat here with my compass crying
Knowing you were headed the wrong way
You don’t hear me over the sound of the wind
as you sail along on a sea of tears and blood
Because you said you loved travel

Its your third lap around the world
And I am chasing you
through sultry suns and whimsical moons
because somewhere on the ship of the upside down boy
is a hole and you see you’re sinking
I pray the sea of blood and tears wont drown you
if I just hold on to my compass

Eventually you will hate travel
You will hate the sea
You will hate the moon and sun.

I don’t fear him; I fear you.
I don’t blame you; I blame him
Because I love you
And you love him
And now the world really is upside down
