World
I was so confused
Tossed away into the dark
Wandering all alone
Forgot I had a heart
When I was sitting quiet
in the blackest of my room
In the quietest of sounds
my head held the loudest boom
when i would wake up crying
from the fears that haunt my dreams
of always being lonely
lost my broken heart’s seam
when i would wake up shaking
from the cold that stole my bones
I would start into the darkness
of a place that I called home
One day I woke up laughing
for the humor i found within
feeling sorry for myself
in a game i could still win
I was thinking fuck it
when you came across my path
on a cold october evening
while with a friend i shared a laugh
I remember smiling when
I first saw your face
I thought, hey I know this one
Yanno, today might be okay
It was later I heard you laughing
At something that I said
and I thought Id like to hear that
Laugh always in my head
So I went out and got it
And now that laughter’s mine
those eyes, that simple kiss
I wish my lips could mime
Every time I hugged you
it was “I’ll see you again”
But goddamn, I never imagined
That you would become my bestfriend
For every word I tell you
every smile that I share
are honest and yours to keep
for your laughter? I think thats fair
The moment I first touched you
My fingertips went numb
my body went into overload
Blind, deaf, and dumb
Ive been paralyzed for weeks
When you’re lying next to me
at 4 AM, inside your bed
I dont dare to sleep
There are times I dont believe it
when you miss me like the rain
In the middle of a drought
like a car to a train
I will follow you forever
same direction, the same track
when you pull the break lever
ill just push it back
Youre everything I wanted
Youre everything I need
These days I dont feel haunted
by those lost and lonely dreams
The sky is looking brighter
steady ground beneath my feet
youve always been the rock
to the flint that brings the heat
