catch me in a stare

have you ever had the darkness swallow you whole
bring you to a place where nothing is told
you're outside on the streets in fear of catching someone's eye
while your heartbeat races and breath paints the sky
it's the feeling alone that makes you shiver in the cold
in lies that he implants and past's he has retold
does it ever go away while you sitting on your knees
while the tears surround you and you choke the Hand that feeds

have you ever felt like telling someone else
but you never do and you drown in what is felt
your mind it races and your thoughts fill the air
in hope someone will catch it and grab you in a stare
but your eyes move too quickly for anyone to know
so your heart begins to weaken and confidence slows
does it ever come around what you think should be there
no because it's something else that is floating in the air

catch me, catch me
catch me in a stare
catch me, catch me
catch me if you dare
