Breathe
Just breathe
I fight the fatigue that incarcerates me
Eyes open
...
When Annie saw the rain
Coming down in sheets
She knew she couldn’t play outside
And tears flew down her cheeks
...
He looks, he walks, he grabs his sack
He sneaks, he creeps, he’s on his way back
He puts his sack in his secret pond
And in the flash of a camera, he’s gone
...
Best I remember, it was Fourth of July
She was laughing as she slid down the waterslide
Jumping in, doing flips, making friends on the fly
I never would’ve guessed she held a secret inside
...
Remember back then, so long ago
When all we ever did was take it slow
When every day was fun and games
And innocence was innocence
...
You get me confused
One day it's a hug and the next it's a bruise
And I have some really great memories with you
But I don't understand the things that you do
...
You're great at pretending
And so am I
I ask how you're doing
You tell me you're fine
...
Here I am
Draped in clothes of softest green
Protection from the world around
Unfolding
...
Picture it on a dark night, with animals
Hiding out of your sight
Oh, suddenly it rings! You jump! You answer it
No one there, you’re the only one home
...
