Fear has drugged me and dragged me down.

Cliches spill out of your mouth and in a hurry to compensate

It all comes out.

You're shaking on the ground.

I don't know what to do now and you can't explain how

To keep the panic down.

I try so hard just to keep you safe, secure and sound.

It's not true that the good die young.

The good die lonely, the good die ignorant.

I'm scared sick of choking on this one

And having to grasp the resulting damage extent.

Where is everything that I worked for?

I could really use it right now.

You're more than welcome to run away. You're

Too delicate to carry that much weight and I'm

Not strong enough not to drown.

So I breathe in until I swallow your entirety.

You're entirely too much for me.

You're entirely too much for me to quit.

The girth of my impotence when

Compared to the size of your heart:

Your heart still beats it.
