Sections of hairpins starting to fall
relief in the cold as your back hits the wall
watching the rain as it shoots through your eyes
calming the feelings of all you despise
Hearing them scream while you try and curse
beginning to shout louder as the bubble bursts

Breathin in the dark lookin for a star
finding your way as you search for the bar
blind but painless, killing the light
feeling the room as you grasp for the night
then rolling your fingers through a revelling brain
wonderin if your duvet will go insane

sweating out blood from a memory of a stare
calling a name, wondering if she was really ever there.
Pinkpricking my iris, the beauty of the eye
hearing all the words but hearing a sigh.
walkin on the silence, a memory of a tune
grasping the carpet in the middle of the room

endlessly dancing with an invisible hold
watching and falling as the cards start to fold

too cheerful to fall, too strong to cheer
too beautiful by far to feel this fear
running from the wind when the sky begins to turn
i watch as my passion begins to smoulder and burn
