These thoughts twisting inside of me Curling up just below the surface Taking my head and clutching it close to my heart Trying to listen to the hum of feelings I can't stand up anymore Wind drinking my skin It's so cold Nothing like it used to be Is this the world you wanted me to see Your kind moving quietly around me Looking back at me I remember whispering in your ear Telling secrets you'd never know Your fingers were afflicted with a nervous itch Pointing like nails to pin my insides to the ground All these people like golden souls crawling this way and that Spotting every dark corner below the surface There you are, flying over me Playing with things unseen I'm lingering in the dark Pulling clouds low to forget this ground Darling, lay your head down for me All around me, jackhammers and timebombs I feel insane, dropping below the still waters Phosphorescent white blotting this soul out into the open Twisting thoughts inside of me Beneath the skin I'll run away Under the waves I'll crawl to some distant shore I'll try to hold on, I'm losing the fight I'll try to hold on, I'm slipping away I'll come back again If I can.

I am him, but he is not me
These thoughts twisting inside of me Curling up just below the surface Taking my head and clutching it close to my heart Trying to listen to the hum of feelings I can't stand up anymore Wind drinking my skin It's so cold Nothing like it used to be Is this the world you wanted me to see Your kind moving quietly around me Looking back at me I remember whispering in your ear Telling secrets you'd never know Your fingers were afflicted with a nervous itch Pointing like nails to pin my insides to the ground All these people like golden souls crawling this way and that Spotting every dark corner below the surface There you are, flying over me Playing with things unseen I'm lingering in the dark Pulling clouds low to forget this ground Darling, lay your head down for me All around me, jackhammers and timebombs I feel insane, dropping below the still waters Phosphorescent white blotting this soul out into the open Twisting thoughts inside of me Beneath the skin I'll run away Under the waves I'll crawl to some distant shore I'll try to hold on, I'm losing the fight I'll try to hold on, I'm slipping away I'll come back again If I can.
