Sometimes I forget to breathe I forget that I am real And not just living in make-believe I’m here and on this earth Stagnant, lying In the up and in-between Away from where you are I can stay hidden, unseen
Sometimes I forget to open my eyes I forget that I’m only dreaming I wish that this life were only lies And not the constant haunting I’ve been fearing If I fall I won’t feel it If I die I’ll be alright Because I was never really living
I wish that my fantasy lasted forever Went on and into infinity But that’s a silly thing to want For without pain we never feel And with out boredom we never feel excitement I grow impatient with wondering If I’m really here at all If I speak will any one even hear?
Sometimes I forget to breathe If I do please shake me I’d hate to die in your arms Such a predictable way to go Sometimes I forget to scream When the pressure builds When I feel sick and frightened No, I’ll never forget what he did But I’ll always forget to speak.
