today marked another year of my being
and i reflected on who i am
what do i wanna take with me?
hate, jealousy, burden and sadness?
or do i simply let it go

this world spins way too fast
my head turns a little too slow

when i was little my sister showed me a movie,
a man's daughter got murdered, and yet, he forgave the murderer.

you were my first real encounter with death.
you were the one who killed me, long before i'll stop breathing.

out of nowhere
a magician pulled out
a beautiful bunch of flowers
and with a snap of a finger
it was gone

the trees have ears
they're the only ones who hear me cry

we weren't meant to be like this
you can build up as many walls as you want
to protect your stone cold heart

but that's not the way we were made
our bodies pump warm
red
blood

and underneath those stones
your heart
is still soft
despite the struggle it faces to keep beating

you weren't made to do that

i have a fire in my soul
but i let people walk on me and put it out

because if you get too close
fire burns.
