lyrics

Fly
Fly like planes

Searching for a better day that never comes tomorrow . . .
Earth’s shadow hits my sundress creating an eclipse
The pages of my notebook glide encompassing my hips
Slicing through my tattoos, watercolors on my wrists
I’m falling from the heavens with a push from the abyss
My lover tastes the bile every time we kiss
These hands that hold my stomach give way to clenched fists
It was a Lapse in Judgment
I’m falling covered in my bliss
Life was just the expectations caught inside your lips

(All I gotta do is)
Reverse my girl’s stroke
Do more than just hope
See my Step Dad get off coke
(All I wanna do is)
Just smile without the smoke
I’d be beside myself if I could laugh at one joke
(All I gotta do is)
Ditch the pills and depressants
Killing my essence
Douse myself inside the evervescence
(All I gotta do is)
Feel myself through life’s lessons
I don’t need to be a moralist to count my own blessings

I heard my last breath when all I wanted was some silence
A fresh breath of dust as I attempt to close my eyelids
It’s every still frame caught up in a single instant
Things only get worse so I don’t wanna risk it
I’ll watch my heels hang together over telephone lines
Eyelashes fan the city orchestrating porch chimes
Graffiti artists paint the streets with my abandoned cosmetics
I feel beautiful now
Divine photogenics

I know she’s out there flying around
Feet never touching the ground making the sweetest sound
I swear and ask if it’s fair
As the wind whips through her hair
And the last thing I heard her say before she turned and flew away was
I would trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday . .
