While you were sleeping I thought about tearing you apart.
I wanted to go out and trade our hearts.
You seemed to be able to breathe
While I couldn’t feel a beat.
I guess that watching you live was good enough for now.
It hurt me for not knowing how.
I wasn’t fearful of death until I saw your face.
To see someone not jaded put me back in my place.
I stood above the ocean, never becoming a part of the sea.
It was confusing, because we were all just drops, weren’t we?

You seemed to be able to breathe
While I couldn’t feel a beat.'
