I'm losing a perfect thing
Past the pastel cracks glaring
Those western eyes were once mine
Now only concrete I could define
Distractions, cold stars on my skin
The sunset whispered words again
Life wasn't a movie, I got scared
I've taken measures not to be prepared
Drag the motivation it burns away
Chafed like elbows on mannequin display
I'm sorry, the phrase casually bland
But there's no proper way to understand
Chekhov's gun pointed in my throat
It used to be my sole source of hope
Now it hunts me like a pack of vampires
The situation is a demon, black eyed and dire
I'll always keep it, I'm afraid to lose this universe
The thought of freckles is such a blessed curse
On a flimsy canopy, past the bed I've made
Please don't let it fade, please don't let it fade...
