I don't know why I'm here I'm slipping on ambition I see my mirror Looking into my own treason I wake up But I don't know What I'm breathing for Running from my regrets Only to draw out more mistakes A never ending rippled lake A forming nightmare Seeing that I don't care Where my breath comes from I'm running in the loop Of a neverending moment Of running on empty Breathing in dry Cold, cold, decaying sincerity I'm running on empty Just dishonest sympathy With no real empathy When my image Outshines my integrity Living the life of moving forward When I'm still staring into the past Covering my eyes from pain Walking with my shadow that never leaves It's an ongoing rhythm of unceasing anxiety I do it to hide from the main reason That I tell myself that it's best for me to go alone No real reason to bond My desire for real connection is gone When all I know are hands letting go I do it for the hidden heartbreak

It hasn't been long, but I'm glad to share in your laughter Soft giggles along with earthquakes I love showing the world your passion Your open and carefree clumsiness Messy but sincere expressions It's like meeting you Has helped me look forward to Meeting myself It's great no longer having To hide my smiles When you're enjoying mine I'm no longer masked My joy basks in yours My nervous grip softens As my heart opens With the fresh blown air You breathe through me When I see your gaze on mine With no desire to turn away I meet myself for the first time I ran from bed haunting nightmares That you're tending to As malnourished innocence Thank you for sharing your life
