snakes in the sky

[xlamentx]

there were snakes in the sky
but i forgot to look up.
i let you control my insides,
just my luck.
and i don't know when it happened
but i just let myself go.
i never let myself fall
this i should know.
but the edge came without warning
there was no danger sign.
and the feet i'm tripping over are foreign
they look nothing like mine.
they told us to scream
about anything that has gone wrong.
and i remember
not screaming for very long.
i'd like a second chance
because tonight i would not rest.
i'd scream and scream
until my heart popped out of my chest.
i would not miss my voice
because i tend to hold my tongue anyway.
and my mind never lets my voice
say what it wants to say.
i was on vacation
but the plane left me behind.
and now i'm alone
looking through the picture album in my mind.

i feel like a balloon
that knows nothing at all.
i was always meant to be floating
but i let myself fall.
