[hometext] => I think this one sounds too detached :/ I tried to keep within some sort of structure because if I hadn't it would be five pages long with many inventive swear words in it. Hope you like it and feel free to advise!
[bodytext] => You look at me with those glassy eyes And I know you're lost somewhere in your head, The muddled up dysfunctional mess that You'll stay caged in until you're dead. I can't hold your hand now that you've let go, Because I promised myself that I wouldn't allow you to drag me from the streelight's glow And into your dark dead-end alleyway. I swore to the sky I'd find the real you, Even if it meant ripping you to shreds And sewing you back together again With a million yards of gossamer thread. I'll be damned if I'm the first to run Because you know I'm childish like that. But sometimes I wish I could erase you, be done With the smell of petrol fumes and cigarettes. One morning I almost fooled myself Into believing that you didn't exist But then you coughed and spluttered in your bed And my bliss dissolved with the morning mist. Now you've jumped off the edge with my heart strings Still attached and I'm praying they won't snap But you just keep Fall, Fall, Falling... God when I remember trying to save you, When I think of those nights when I asked The stars to give me answers or just kill me So I wouldn't have to hide behind the mask. You're as bottomless as the pit you're dropping through, The oblivion you've been coaxed into, So I'll severe these strings. I'll let you fall And when those rocks pierce through your soul I hope You're all alone.
