I watched her words unfold
I built my world around them, I tried, but
Her hair jingled in a way I could only envy
And I would pay to remember the sound.
I got distracted,
And I swam ashore to someone else
Whose hair was cut short and firm
Who did not know how to
Go any deeper than the seafoam.
What a waste, what a waste,
All giggles and no tears
Makes us madmen, don't you know?
I flew far away, I had to.
Now my mirror is shining black and only I can hold my gaze
What a twisted way to confess
The sad fate of Narcissus.
I still get distracted,
I'm looking for punctures
If I escape through, will you be waiting?
With my heart inside my palm dripping blood
I can show you a life of running.
