I jumped so far Knowing I would hit the pavement I swam out to sea Knowing I would drown in misery I leapt into space and time Knowing there is no air, I will suffocate I believed false promises Ones so easily refuted, forgotten Love shut off just like that, how quaint Like a game of bowling I am the pins I set myself up to be knocked down But I never thought you would throw the ball Or actually I did but I soaked in denial Ball came rolling fast, unstoppable, fierce So yes I shattered into the pavement I felt water fill my lungs as my vision darkened I suffocated in the vacuum of space, surrounded by darkening stars I set myself up to be destroyed If I put the pieces back together perhaps I may learn That words mean so little these days My mind is logical I now follow it to the end
