I swear that I'm dreaming
I can feel you take my hand
.....And I can see us vanishing into the crowd
Longing for home again
But home...
Is a feeling I buried in you.

I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe.

I can't ask for things to be still again
My window through which
Nothing hides
And everything sings
I'm counting the signs
And cursing the miles in between
I hung the pictures to remind me of the past
That I'd never leave again
Time will corrode our fragile memory

I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe

Our hands shake with goodbyes
The silence finally sinks into me
I watched the spiders crawl
And I listened to the sirens wail
I closed my eyes
Inhale....
.....Exhale

I'm alright.
It only hurts when I breathe.
