At The Ballet

Don’t jump off the ledge, you’re my only friend.
You’re not the only one that’s living up inside this head.
Please remind me, I can’t remember what I said,
I said goodbye before you knew that I was leaving.

It isn’t safe for me to be here alone,
There’s not a feeling in the world like letting go.
The conversation keeps my heart in the hills,
my lungs on the floor with the bottles we killed.
There’s nothing holding me down,
and there’s a reason to jump now.
There’s a reason to jump.

Show me all that you see, even if it kills me,
but just not all at once.
It feels like everything we know,
got up and ran through the window. [x2]

Am I talking to myself again?
There’s nothing wrong,
just exchanging thoughts with a friend.
It’s not like you to not care,
I can’t fight you if you’re too far away to touch.

So hear me out…

Leave us alone while we look to the future,
all that we see is a burning flame.
If you won’t be here at the face of tomorrow,
leave us for the vultures, and fuck growing older.

Where is the person I loved?
Fall fast asleep, six feet from the surface.
So in love.
The stars in the sky that we raised were not worth it.

Show me all that you see, even if it kills me.
But just not all at once,
It feels like everything we know got up and ran through the window. [x2]
Ran through the window.
