was it ever real?
that feeling in my chest when you laugh,
did you feel it too?
was it all in my head?
that stare you shot at me
destroying my every nerve til my toes,
did you feel it too?
mellow synths in the background setting the scene as a bloody sunset kisses your hair.
was it all just a wishful dream
a running bird
a distant world
a longing song
rain in my lemon-shot drink
sun in your smile
moon in my eyes
fleeting glances
and double conversations
lies painted golden,
shiny, oh, so mesmerizing.
i held out my hands
and in want to catch them i fell
you wanted to keep me friend
but you got me haunted
my steps now echo your name -
you're a wrecking ball
and I'm a wall,
I'm running towards you
and I'm oh, so ready to break.
lie to me, tear me down.
I'm as blind as a melody
you're as deaf as my words
make me your favorite song
let me be in your veins
pumping so fucking loud
until you hate me
so you'll finally have a reason
something tangible
to leave me stranded
with your name trapped in my mouth.
i never had you
but I'm wrapped around your finger
you look so innocent
i feel you linger
at the side of my head,
let me pull the trigger.
