relapse, by twisted bean Subscribe to rss feed for twisted bean

perhaps I ask too much
attempting to resist
the one that got away
as he blows a fatal kiss

his arms wrapped tight around me
til my heart beats in his chest
we havent known each other long
and yet he knows me best

so while i flirt with danger
while the detox slowly fades
some sunlight hurts my eyelids
and im forced to put on shades

destruction softly creeping in
a visit from my past
a test of all i've tried to learn
to see how long i'll last

and the leaves are dancing on the wind
without a fear, without a care
and i cant help but long to be
amongst them dancing there

exhale. relax. attempt to breathe
rebirthing constantly
inhale. hold on, hold on, hold on
then close my eyes to see

somewhere i cant begin to place
familiar strange & real
one day i'll make it over there
and take my final meal

while the arms of a sweet stranger
try to shake me from my sleep
whoever else he's left with
are the ones who'll hear him weep

if they should feel concern for him
then i will see them soon-
however long it takes for them
to crash into the moon
