Skydiver
Possible motives of every occasion
I’m not grounded anymore I’m lost in accusations
My screams of silence are masked
By your words and unnecessary tasks
You don’t make sense to me
Even so why’d you leave me
Everything I said to you
All you recall
I’d help you with everything
Catch you when you fall
Felt so small compared to the spark
Felt every word every last remark
Suppose I spent all my time rethinking
All my time re-linking
Never escaping deep thought
Feels like you’ve been shot
Close your eyes count sheep
Don’t leave till I fall asleep
Show me that you’re here
To have no fear
I’d draw a photo for my brother
Too young to fully understand his mother
I need a hero
You were my hero
Can you tell me where you are
Seems so far apart
Yet I can’t evade as if you’re here with me now
You were the pilot I was the passenger
We flew high over the calendar
A skydiver left me to fly
Just another lesson to live by
Suppose I spent all my time rethinking
All my time re-linking
Never escaping deep thought
Feels like you’ve been shot
Close your eyes count sheep
Don’t leave till I fall asleep
It’s hard to handle
Feel like the wick of a candle
Lit a fire meant to go out
Did we have to take this route
Should mend but not forget
Confusion at its best no regrets
New found loss of direction
More time for reflection
Cause and effect
Is it meant to redirect
Suppose I spent all my time rethinking
All my time re-linking
Never escaping deep thought
Feels like you’ve been shot
Close your eyes count sheep
Don’t leave till I fall asleep
