More of the same.

feel good about this one.

I was a frame.
You were a wave made out of paint
and you leaked and stained what I made.

I swore it was all for you.

Now I'm a grave
with no time to save so I'm giving you time
to escape from your mind into mine.

Such a s****y house for you.

I hold my breath and refrain
from holding you back from the day.

We look so much alike.
I am a mirror and you are kite.
I've never really felt the breeze like you.

Now find the key to tie yourself down.
The sky is a painting fresh out of the clouds
and I can't find the words to express myself.

So now I hold my breath and refrain.
The breeze always pauses again.

The meaning is more of the same;
so much more.

I'm sorry and you are ashamed.
There's no one to blame.
In a way we're both the same.

EEEEEK, this is too cool for school. funny you should say "ask a quesion about it" because I have one. Whats the significance of you being a mirror?
My favourite parts:

"Now I'm a grave
with no time to save so I'm giving you time
to escape from your mind into mine."

"I'm sorry and you are ashamed.
There's no one to blame.
In a way we're both the same."

Basically I was trying to go back to the idea of the first and second stanza where I show her as a painting inside of me as a frame, our my mind as a home...I make implications as to its more of a cage than a home. In the mirror reference I'm showing that we are seemingly alike with her image as a kite being caught in the mirror and that I'm acting as an imitation and there's no way I could experience what life actually feels like for her. Though I feel you should always treat others the way you want to be treated..so you need to understand yourself before you can try to understand others, because in some level we're all the same and everything is symbiotic.
