Let's jump from five story windows holding tight to black garbage bags Let's stare in the face of all physics deny the laws and turn our backs Capture and cage all the fire that engulfs entire forests Bottle and swallow it down until it fuels every inch of our chests You'll know the speed with which we live
Yesterday was a half empty glass filled with a curious substance I should Have left alone on the shelf inside the parts of myself that I avoid Woke up today with the sunrise through the blinds and an ocean between where I stood Just a few hours before I ran and I ignored the world
I'll live in the picture on the wall in the moment that never exists I'll be in the day dream that repeats a scene that I always forget Walking the streets of the city at night feeling warm in my coat My legs will never grow tired the roads will never lead me home I'll always feel safer alone
Last night I dreamt of gasoline Of leaping off of everything With the hope that this mountain would move From the air in my lungs Today I woke desiring To leave these metaphors and similes And I would scream aloud
