Air

I want love like I want Death
Can't get her kiss off of my breath
I'm on the inside looking out

I've realized static is too loud

I need to get this off my chest

I believe I can breathe

I think that I can swim

I don't know if I should speak

Because I'm not sure I could win

I travel like I don't feel

My lead heart, legs made of steel

I don't have half of what I need

But I don't want for anything
I wonder what is real

I believe I can see

I think that it's too dim

I don't know if I should weep

Because I'm not sure I'm falling

The horizon dies in red
My half of the Earth is dark
The orbit slows and it ends,

Leaving shadow as it's mark

All the loose ends tied,

Entangled strands of live and die,

Waves halt themselves before the tide....

I want love like I need death,

I seldom want to know what's left

I've carved a path of destruction,

Handed down from mother to daughter

I now know neutral never rests
