The Air In Me

Are we reaching out for something
More than who we were and what we’ve been?
And our insides cringe just like the rusty
Hinges of the chest I buried having faith in someone else
I reach, for something not there
I’d die to even know that you care
But my shortness of breath says I’m halfway there
Tell me what happens next
Say I’m not the only thing that pushed you away
It’s not the same anymore, my hearts astray and I adore you
Say I’m not the only thing that pushed you away
No I can’t change anymore, you know I tried- I assure you
Are we reaching out for something
More than what we’ve felt sink into our skin
And outside the sight of our brittle mind
Is a greater hope, that on our own we won’t wear thin
Say I’m not the only thing that pushed you away
It’s not the same anymore, my hearts astray and I adore you
Say I’m not the only thing that pushed you away
No I can’t change anymore, you know I tried- I assure you
Well I’ve heard what’s real takes time to heal, the words that cut so deep
Every burden felt has slowly dealt me shaking hands it’s hard to keep
That grip that’s got a hold of me, from dragging me down underneath
Why won’t you let me breathe
Take the air out of me, give it to someone more deserving
Castaways are souls to stay, lives unnerving
