ride

did you sit on the moon
and fished for stars
on the fourth of july

while i waited
and the firecrackers
they exploded

and the clouds
they brought you here
but i'm blinded

sparks in my eyes
the lights
they're too bright

sparks in your eyes
the lights
they're too bright

and we held on
as the ride
made our heads spin

when its over
when the lights
have gone down

we're just us
i know what i want
but you

you don't have a clue
so i walk away
to a darker place

Run

Walk away
Though my tears have dried
Though my bruises are healed
I have scarred

Walk away
You won't be able to look me..
in the eyes
I don't recognise you

Run

Because the hurt you caused me
Stuck its ugly scars on my skin
And though I need you
I can't bear to hurt you with memories of how you hurt me

And those memories..
I don't have to say a word..
All you have to do is look me in the eye

Hello, me

walked through fire
i breathed in the smoke
i thought
i needed time away

i choked
cried out for help
i thought
i needed someone

and amidst the cry of war
i felt a sense of belonging
a quiet hush of calm

a quiet hush of calm

and a quiet hush of calm

and i knew
what i needed most was
me

its nice to be me again
hello,
me.
