awaken, my child
because the night is over
my flowers are dead and
your heart is broken
closing your eyes and disappearing into your headphones can't save you anymore
because sometimes the world hurts
we are both familiar with that
the smoke is filling up my room
and I'm almost out of matches
but I know you have thousands more
we're alone in a crowd full of people
together
we're hiding out in the open
together
and we'll hold each other up
through the crying and our bodies shaking
and the songs that remind us of another time
because we're going to get through this
together
I promised you it was going to be okay
we're so alike yet so different, you and I
and I've told you time and time again
that nobody means what they say
two sides of a coin
that isn't worth shit
staring into the dark-red illuminated abyss
together
and although my beating heart tells me otherwise
neither of us need a lover right now
both of us just need a friend
