Paper Dreams

I can't let go

I'm hearing all the

things you said inside my head.

They're twisting

like violent water

in an ocean filled with dead regrets/

My life has been

a roller coaster

off the tracks in a burning ditch.

I hear the silence

getting louder

You give me a reason to live/

//You're like the ground beneath my knees

my very favorite part of me.

The only piece of concrete

in these paper dreams.

Dead lullabies when I sleep

You are the air beneath these wings

in the land of broken sunsets

and paper dreams//

It comforts me

remembering the

things you said before you left.

The stars were so

damn close to falling.

For once I'm not alone in this/

I hear your echoes

all around me

Telling me I should stay strong.

and if I'm only

being honest

where you are is where I belong/

//You're like the ground beneath my knees

my very favorite part of me.

The only piece of concrete

in these paper dreams.

Dead lullabies when I sleep

You are the air beneath these wings

in the land of broken sunsets

and paper dreams//
