Awakening/Loss of Breath

Wake up

don't you know

you're not the only one who's wounded

Wake up

don't you know

you're not the only one who's dying here

See me

You know his type

hiding in the corner

with a rusted smile and a gun

Aggressive he wants to be so tough

but inside he's just a frightened child

more innocent than the rest

All the signs were there

but no one listens

Just close your eyes

Just look the other way

telling pretty lies

perfumed sins that go untouched

but your halo's looking tarnished

and your beauty isn't free

feathers falling from

your white white wings

And there's a shadow in your eyes

I can barely see my reflection

Let me tell you this isolation kills

and we're about to snap

Do you remember the day

he shot himself

and I almost died?

When he's going down

then we are too

And I'll write a song for him

for you for me for everyone

and no one

and we all die just like him

Alone

Falling down

Take me down

Finding Eden in this

loss of breath

-yours and mine-

loss of breath

Glorifying suicide

Author's Notes/Comments: 

if people would just be more kind to others who are different and open their eyes they could save someone.
