Cigarettes and bubblegum blues
Got a lot to chew
This ones for you
Silver spoon
They say loves a game
Of give and take
An acquired taste
And I think of us everyday
Standing in the way
Hallucinating
Rabbits race
Something about the chase
Can’t get stuck cannot stay
Lighting fires just to feel safe
Yet the flames still get away
Can’t bleed it out down drain
The truth, the pain
I’m on fire but I’m free
Flying through the sun, left you my wings
And when I fall too deep I don’t need you to catch me
No matter how hard I’m crashing
Dancing through the dark and disease
Softens the sharp edges in my mind
Was such a climb to get to your height I just jumped off when you left me
But I’m better than what I give myself credit for
Even on the floor  
Don’t need to build walls to have boundaries
Break through every door that I meet
Run through everything until I hit the shore on my knees
Gasping to breathe
Salty winds and skies
Know it’ll burn off in time
No I won’t be looking so blind
And sometimes I think that I might die before my time without you riding by my side
Pressures on flying this high
Joy stick, tight grip, tulips, scripts flipped
Holes I dig to hide you in
So much love to give
Don’t know what to do with it
Tick tacking from tide to tide
Spinning in my dizzy mind
Melting memories like ice cream on Summer streets
Vampire in me needs to feed
Unfurling
Burning up the circus and turning with the sea
