My Mind Is Too Fast

i remember every night

i held your hand

so you could sleep

and i remember every night

you said to me

you didn’t want to be alive

so i’d never sleep

so that every night

you’d still be here with me

dont you know,

what you do to me?

you didn’t know?

well this is new to me.

where are we going?

who we gonna be?

i’ll take you far,

and be whatever you wanna be.

how did you take my heart?

my anatomy.

did you think it hurt?

well baby i didn’t feel a thing.

i tore it out,

so easily.

i think it’s so beautiful that we can learn each others ways and thoughts. we can understand each other or at least try to, and that itself is a way of giving your love to another. a little bit of your life, a little bit of your being. even if you don’t realize it.

a beautiful possibility,

an extraordinary maybe,

“the great perhaps”,

a hopeful tomorrow.

anything may happen,

so let it happen,

and to experience it,

how rare it must be.

laughed at

for my pain

fake smiles

helps a while

but nothing

stays

the same

i hear music when i’m around you

I play with guns

I’m touching fire

I’m on the run

Leave it all behind us

I sleep in my car

I won’t get too far

I think too much

It’s hard to slow down

When you’re ahead

they say my musics too loud

And I don’t know anything

But that’s alright with me

had a conversation with myself,

we didn’t really agree

if i’m being honest

i have to let you go

the southern sun is setting

sinking ships below

backwards i’ve been running

downwards i have flown

heart is getting heavy

you say it’s overgrown

a little green bug landed on my arm, out of instinct i swiped at it. oh what a shame something so small and so unaware had to meet its end, on my skin.
