I don’t believe you when you tell me that you’re one of a kind

Because living inside you is a heart that’s held hostage by a mind

A mind that is anxious, and through it all

I’ll never get far pushing at the wall

Part of me pities, part of me is frenzied like a dog inside a cage

The perfect pollution, the pretty colors that all that poison makes

Are we the same blood, or water and oil

Or a green shooting fighting through the soil

Without love, are we ever really enough

Time stands still, until we are really enough

To shift through the shards

Edging over the yards that make up the miles of space between us all

I see you watch me

I see your lip curl and the twitching in your eyes

Are you scared, what makes me the kind of person you despise

And when we’re silent, that’s when we talk

This is the stillness, the calm before the storm
