making notice

hello.

you cant hear me.
you still drift around all the time.

i've forgotten the words to this song,
i've forgotten, for so so long.

be quiet.
we're all leaving.
once and for all.
decidedly, we shall move on.
even if we dont know how.

i can pretend so much that i do not care.
maybe even convince myself that i dont.
but there's no hiding the smile behind the frown.
i'm torn, again and again.
regardless of what the pictures say,
i'm not the person i'm made out to be.
a little less, maybe quite a bit more,
i'm running away, away from today.
so quiet now, hear your own breathing.
forget the sounds of my footsteps fading.
its a long way from home,
called out into the empty nowhere.
time passes, we wont regret.
no, not once.

if only i could change your mind,
if only she would turn back time.
then it would rain once more,
give us time for one more sunrise.
