I don't think I can do it,
Just sinking, resting,
I'm hovering in the midst,
above reality,
my mind is empty of any thoughts,
I think i'm getting further,
into a better position,
it's the first time i've felt like myself,
not caught up in some meaningless fixation,
i'm grounded and I finally fit into my skin,
Busy with the rush of life,
i've been putting it off,
so unfamiliar,
what matters most always reigns,
it's about time I realized,
I see everything as it is,
no scenic distractions,
I won't change for anyone,
I like where i've found myself,
Not ever leaving,
this attitude that's bloomed,
puts so much behind me,
the difference is infectious,
the consequence is so humbling,
I don't look down anymore,
watch me shine.

Fix your eyes,
do they stay in one spot?
I concentrate too hard,
and i'm tripping over clumsy feelings,
they're unnecessary,
i'm so relieved,
now that all this mess has passed,
now I see how great I can be,
when I look at the sky,
the stars spell out my name,
there's something bigger waiting for me,
impatiently anticipating,
beautiful captivity,
blinking, growing accustomed to my fresh eyes,
you've never looked stranger,
I don't even remember who you are,
i've been smiling every since that day,
everything you stole just faded away,
i've never been better,
knowing I never needed to depend on you,
in your eyes, I know there's tears,
though suppressed, you're crumbling inside,
holding all the sorrow,
you'll never have me to hold again.

It said it was coming,
maybe you realized,
it's always been me,
now that i'm gone,
isn't that convenient,
could I be the reason why,
you wrote those words?
what's behind,
have I gotten to you this time?
a moment too late,
it's about time that you break,
the smoke is rising,
it always seems to be,
you fall for me,
as soon as I decide i'm through with you,
too bad you missed out,
it's not so simple,
while i'm not at your disposal,
no no no no,
the words sound tough,
but you're so tender inside,
nothing's how you thought it would be,
and i'm alright,
my absence hits you in the weakest place,
now you're not sure of anything.
