lyrics

I am running up the hill to warn you about what’s coming
Hysterical words and histrionics exiting my mouth
You look at me as if I’m a man possessed by a wild beast
I wish I could bridge the gap between our perspectives

You send me off packing like I am a lost child
But I promise there is something very important I need you to know
I wish that I wasn’t like this, I wish this often
Take one last look at the night sky, wonder if it’ll be the last time I’m here

And when it all falls down, it won’t look like a movie
And when the smoke fills my lungs, I won’t be able to say a thing
And when I look at the blue sky, I’ll see everything I imagined
But even though I know it’s coming, I will not feel any better

I imagine somewhere deep in the forest where the creatures roam so peacefully
Living in a kind of serenity, that has eluded me my whole life
And I lay there and I cry, for them and for everybody else
Thinking about if it would’ve been easier if I had been born another kind of creature

Focus on that for a while, as the ground begins to shake
Smell hydrangeas in the air, and I crack a little smile
The grass on the back of my neck feels just like your soft fingertips
So I feel safe here no matter what comes afterwards

As the earth swallows me up I will think about another world
One where the words in my head go directly to yours
We will smile, and we will rejoice together
When I get there will be soft grass under my feet
