i’m gonna
I’m gonna fly away from here
find me an isolated coast
to drown in a little spring
filled with your pure dreams.
Dreams that yet have to reach you, baby
I’m gonna walk to my future grave-sight
carve my own headstone
just in case this world gets strange
that it won’t dock at my pier for this ceremony
if I couldn’t reach you
because the fortune teller was right
I’m gonna be wishing that you
choose my name on an impulse
walk on an empty vein
wishing you to commit murder
wanting you to kill this pestering sting
something that tags a long way back
murder it with the gentle warmth of your embrace
the soft stabbing of your lips on my mouth
the glow of serenity in your eyes
after dissecting my story
I was hypnotized since I saw you
violating the sanctity of childhood
always doing your thing baby
I know i’m fading, right
between the collapsing waves
ignoring me here
I know i’ve got served the right ending
trapped & lonely
for dealing with you
but it’s o.k.
I’ve got something right
I’m loving you …… elsee
