I can't get through the ocean
On my own,
The same way
I can't get through to you

I don't know you.
You are just a stranger
Behind the same prescription
Though your eyes
Have never looked the same
To me
As they once did

You look good
But you know it
I prefer beautiful things
That don't have to ask
For the love they won't get

Admirance is different;
A lust seen through
Two tiny black holes
I think that's the only sight
You've ever known

I should have been gold to you
Because you said I was
You were my world
But I guess I was just the fool

I've always been the one to defend you
With or without me
I wanted you to have the best
But I now find
I'm the one who needs defending

You're army of insecurity
Is no match for my swift feet
I could never use your secret as a weapon
But I've considered it

The person I loved in you
No longer exists
I was sad to find
that my friend is gone too

I don't want to be your boomerang
I want to be your bird
But I'm caged by the thought
That you have a heart under all that
Armor
