Reality

Still leave but I hesitate
You told me please be safe
Don't throw yourself away
Just take it day by day
We laugh it off
Regurgitate reality
Learn to embrace
The change so rapidly

Eyes red and tight
Things that dry me out at night
Fighting off spite
Healthy coping not quite
Suddenly light
Relaxed uncertainty
Regurgitate reality
I'd like to think it's how
It's supposed to be

Lean over everyday
I tell you please be safe
Don't cast yourself in shame
Live on in picture frames
We laugh it off
Regurgitate reality
Learn to embrace
The change so rapidly

Eyes red and tight
Things that dry me out at night
Lack electrolytes
Neurotoxins collide
Suddenly light
Relaxed uncertainty
Regurgitate reality
I'd like to think it's how
It's supposed to be

I stay retreating
In the end
What more will it take
To get this through
My fucking head
Live on and beating
In my chest
