Is it just me, that when the r.a.i.n falls
all that's left [breathing] is the heart that's still carved in the {weeping} willow?
I stood upon that bridge for hours grasping the ledge
as if I was hanging there
and in the quiet city through shrill screams
it was the only thing I couldn't let go of...
the only thing that seemed to be holding me back.
Waters crashing the rocks beneath my trembling feet... through lonely cuts I could feel a stampede thrashing towards me...
I've only begun to realize, it was my unsteady heart beating against the cages... set me free...
San Diego lights didn't come this far to lose power...
Cars slowly passing through this twilight zone
I've seem to create around myself...
time seems to speed up as everything else slows...
white knuckles still holding onto the ledge...
fall with me...
Pretty heels wouldn't dare cross over the railings...
I'll leave them behind tonight;
maybe someone would like to walk in my shoes for once...
Delicate skirt a little too short,
past the knees... blouse a little to open,
hair a little too messed,
lashes a little too black, tears a little too wet...
I'll sleep alone tonight.
Wind blows the tears into the crashing waves below...
flick the cigarette,
not only because I couldn't make it over to the trashcan... but a reassurance...
just to know how far...
how far down it is.
Deep purple sky leaving me alone with darkness...
[I] Didn't come this far to lose power.
Crossed the railings back onto the ground, legs feeling like jell-o, slip back into pretty heels... the world isn't ready to walk in these shoes.
Light another cigg... smoke falls over the water...
San Diego lights didn't come this far to lose power...
