A crack of light slips through my fingers
I wake up cold
Where am I now
What’s this life for
Faint strokes of white color the air
It’s getting a little harder to breathe
When did it happen
Why was it you
I reached out but it was impossible
I tried to call out but it was futile
The way things are, I’d be lying to myself
If there had ever been a chance
It got lost in the inflexibility
That was the foundation of my pride
A voice that never demanded attention
A psyche that earned respect
Such a subtle state of being
Never tainted by arrogance
My hand can’t even fathom your mind
It entangles me even further
I can’t get away
I don’t want to get away
I want to get away
I reached out but it was impossible
I tried to call out but it was futile
The way things are, I’d be lying to myself
If there had ever been a chance
It got lost in the inflexibility
That was the foundation of my pride
Pretty honey eyes, I see the one in your gaze
The lovely shades of red that color your cheeks
How it burns and stings inside
How this feeling doesn’t subside
Too naive to understand
And yet wise enough to care
I want to scream those words to you
I want you to be mine
I reached out but it was impossible
I tried to call out but it was futile
The way things are, I’d be lying to myself
If there had ever been a chance
It got lost in the inflexibility
That was the foundation of my pride
The green monster within remains chained
Forever restless and insane
Tearing my insides with it claws
Ravaging my words with its jaws
A crack of light slips through my fingers
I wake up cold
Where am I now
What’s this life for
I reached out but it was impossible
I tried to call out but it was futile
The way things are, I’d be lying to myself
If there had ever been a chance
It got lost in the inflexibility
That was the foundation of my pride
