Breathe |
| Today I looked up how long it would take to drown |
| Today I looked up how long it would take to drown |
| How long can you hold your breath before you can’t hold your breath any longer? |
| And how long until your lungs give out and the sound that used to fill the void, |
| quiets like a mouse at midnight, searching for its piece of the pie |
| Today I stood in front of a window and imagined what it would be like to fly |
| No I didn’t, I imagined what it would be like to jump outside the frame that |
| caged me inside |
| But my better judgement said it wouldn’t be very kind if someone you cared |
| about found you |
| That’s the voice that plays like a tape on rewind |
| Rewind |
| Rewind |
| It wouldn’t be fair to a stranger either |
| Today I’m reminded of the time I watched a man jump into a highway when I was |
| just seventeen |
| The car lights on either side of the upper portion of the auto route below |
| standing at attention |
| Staring off into the distance, just waiting for the road to clear, |
| and the way to the comfort of their loved ones to be made |
| Death is a strange and hollow inconvenience when you think about it |
| There’s a blank face that quickly and abruptly finds its way to all who witness |
| something of that magnitude |
| It’s not empathy, it’s not sympathy, it’s more of a forced, intrinsic, |
| and integral self-reflection |
| Why would someone do such a thing? |
| What could drive someone to that type of depth? |
| Could I, be driven to such depths? |
| Would I ever be able to jump? |
| There is no place to be soft in these moments |
| Jump |
| There’s no time to be caught in this moment |
| Jump |
| There’s no need to believe there ever was a moment |
| Jump |
| Sigh, believe, relief, in this moment |
| 'Cause I could never be the one to be in this moment |
| Or could I? |
| Jump |
| Today I looked up how long it would take to drown |
| Do you first hold your breath, do you exhale all of your problems and worries |
| before casting your thoughts to the bottom of an otherwise empty place below |
| the poverty line of depressed thoughts and the sad calamity of a haunted house |
| you’ve called home |
| I don’t know |
| Maybe someone out there has an answer |
| But for now I’m still trying to come to terms with the fact that today I looked |
| up how long it would take to drown |
