your demeanor ever darkening
raining misery with every step you take
a thundercloud eclipsing the sky
pillaging oxygen from the trees,
the breath away from all forms of life
i can’t breathe, i can’t breathe
inexplicably i’m being pulled closer
with every step i try backing away
you’re a magnet, a black hole
i fear i can never escape you
i need an escape, i need an escape

i tried to save you
but you wouldn’t hear a word
you closed your eyes
sewed them tight
you refused to see the beauty in this world
(so i saved myself)
