I'm Sure It's Fine

I hope that you’re happy, I hope that you're well.
I’ve been getting lost in daydreams, I’ve been missing out.
I thought that I was ready, got my timing all wrong.
Though I didn’t choose to leave, I’d still choose to stay gone.
Oh but I still occupy the space we left behind.
Take it in turns to make the best of what is left.
We never learn but I’m sure it’s fine.
I know that you’re angry, I know you think I can’t tell
But I can feel it radiate from the cracks in your skull.
Could you please stop the car, I think she’s gonna throw up.
She got lost inside a nightmare, a daydream’s how it started now it’s changing.
Wait ‘till it’s over, open your eyes
Did we try and do too much?
Oh but I still occupy the space we left behind.
Take it in turns to make the best of what is left.
We never learn but I’m sure it’s fine.
Oh but I lost my sense of fear
Whilst towering over the headlands
Try to keep my conscience clear
While I make mistakes.

I am broken, shattered glass,
Glued together but in a different shape,
I am loser, I am failure,
Personified and validated by you.
I am one with the universe,
But I don’t understand their messages.
I don’t understand.
I am language, I am losing sleep,
Foreign tongues in changing seasons
Put me together but not in order,
Desensitised and nothing without you.
I am one with my lack of self-belief,
But I don’t understand the reasons why.
Or why it needs to change.
And my head is buzzing with words and phrases.
None of them my own.
And my head is buzzing with words and phrases,
All of them my own.
I am human, but so is everybody else.
Nothing special but so is everybody else.
Simply boring but so is everybody else.
I am human but so what?
And my head is buzzing with words and phrases.
None of them my own.
And my head’s become so unreliable.
But it’s all i’ve got.
It’s all i’ve got.
It’s all i’ve got.

I know, I know, I know.
I should have stayed grounded.
Volunteered to take the fall
Against better judgement.
Does my body float?
I know, I know, I know.
I should have just waited.
Instead of throwing myself off
And testing your patience.
Does my body float?
Sit down
Before you hurt yourself.
Again.
I know I should have listened
But I’d hate to make things easy.
From the ABC to the spot where you left me.
This is not what we had planned
Since my weakened lungs gave in.
Sit down
Before you hurt yourself.
Again.
I know I should have listened
But I’d hate to make things easy.

swimming in endorphins,
I inhale grey clouds through nostrils,
I could choose to leave tomorrow,
But I feel fifty feet tall.
I am crushing houses under foot,
and watch nature bend to my will.
But you are just a figment, imagination,
A citizen with a camera phone filming all destruction
The weapons that they use to take me down, won't make a scratch though oily and mottled hide.
I am not attacker,
It's not my fault that I have all this power to wield.
Leave me to my solitude,
I am not your enemy, I am not your enemy.
I am just a warning of the horror yet to come.
And you will know me by name,
But you don't know what I am not the threat anymore.
They're coming for your money, I am just a story that they use to keep you safe in line.
