where did everyone go you ask i'm still here beside you don't you feel me touching your hand you're wrapped in my arms but you feel trapped in the sand closing the lid on your laptop light shutting down you wake up in the morning and there's nothing there bright and dark at the same time enough heat to last a lifetime bright and dark at the same time enough heat to last a lifetime you forbid me to disappear into the walls i say i won't leave you but you don't hear my call the day won't end quickly love doesn't fade i'll wake up in the morning and touch your face even if you can't feel me you will hear your name bright and dark at the same time enough heat to last a lifetime

this world feels like a labyrinth sometimes i don't blame you for running a hundred miles the woods they whisper your name as you pass rain stops dead like birds at your tracks don't fight your breath don't wipe your sweat don't cover the light don't darken the bright why do you run who's chasing you why do you run who's chasing you

you don't have to cover the mirrors you don't have to hide your smile i love all the things you hate about yourself i love all the little mistakes you think you make you don't have to wear an armor you don't have to wear that mask there is nothing left to fear when i am here i'd forgive almost anything you do my dear

i see them walking in the dark mouths closing and i can't understand how you can end up like this alone and crying with a chip on your shoulder so big it can swallow you whole i never felt like this before empty like a glass empty like a hole in the ground breaking bottles against the wall shaking like a leaf in fall there is nothing to believe in this world but you gotta keep your head up just like me look at me i've got nothing but you on my back and i don't mind it at all i never felt like this before empty like a glass empty like a hole in the ground

spent another evening alone surrounded but feeling destroyed by the noises around me people swarming like bees my skin felt numb to the pain my eyes were fixed to a gaze the life lines on my palms should have ended when i held your hand and you let go you left me alone you let me down abandoned underground spent another evening before you completely shut the door left me locked inside this room camera lens stuck in a zoom people looking like strangers each corner hiding secret dangers and you let go you left me alone you let me down abandoned underground

until there's nothing left to say i won't consider this until there's no time left to wait i won't consider this until there's no one left behind i won't consider you have left for the very last time i won't consider you to be the one who has won this fight you don't get to be the one who ever says the last goodbye until there are no tears in your eyes i won't consider this until there are no roads left to burn i won't consider this until you keep your word i won't consider a thing that you say to have an ounce of truth on any given day i won't consider you to be the one who has given up this fight you don't get to be the one who ever says goodbye

i know you meant well but it's not how it seems to their eyes in their thoughts you're just a stranger a stranger brilliant dreams during daylight just seem like fantasies wishes on a star falling from afar exploding in tiny little pieces i know you mean to tell the truth about how you feel but in their eyes in their thoughts you're just a reminder just a reminder brilliant dreams during daylight just seem like fantasies wishes on a star falling from afar exploding in tiny little pieces a ghost in the highway crashing into cars waiting for contact just a liar underwater burning to tell the truth brilliant dreams during daylight just seem like fantasies wishes on a star falling from afar exploding in tiny little pieces
8.
why did you invite me to this world of such beauty of such opulence i try to find my place in this room but i'm nothing i'm less than nothing feeling like a monster tonight keep my head down keep my eyes closed far from the sight all through the night i keep asking myself why am i with you why are you with me there's no reason or rhyme we don't belong together are you blind there's no way everyone doesn't see it mismatched pair striking out feeling like a monster tonight keep my head down keep my eyes closed far from the sight all through the night i keep asking myself why am i with you why are you with me
