lyrics

In the dark cinema
I walled off every part
Of my heart
I was a metaphor
Feigning flight
Watch as I burn away
Atmosphere

I know I won't
Talk to you
Help me to overcome
Solitude
I do not want to feel
Drawn to you
I was an un-composed
Longitude

I am so afraid to
Open up my heart to
Let another person
Have this power over me

In the dark cinema
I closed off every part
Of my heart
I was a shooting star
Burning up
Catch me before I fall
Down again
Darling

I know I'm not
Here for you
Convince me to
Go beyond
Solitude
I traded happiness
For ignorance
I was a meteor
Burning up

I am so afraid to
Open up my heart to
Let another person
Have this power over me

Please come and take my hand to
Give me room to grow to
Understand that my experience
Means nothing

Maybe I am
Numb to this

Is it Better to live alone the longer life
Better than to stand and fight for brighter light
Never thought I'd open up to anyone
What will happen when I prematurely say we're done

Fear of the body fear of the mind
I don’t think I have what it takes to confront mine
Gonna have to tear down walls to even try
Gonna have to tear down walls to even try

I never knew that living this way wasn't true
Don’t even knows if a person exists like you
Settling for Comfort over happiness
Maybe I should strengthen my defense

All I ever wanted was a getaway
Never really thought I'd half to question living in this way
Suddenly confronted another burning surprise
I can't even process how to contemplate the lie

In the dark cinema
I held you close enough
To my heart
I couldn't tell you what I thought of you
I would communicate if I knew

I hope you can carry two
Maybe I should go beyond
Solitude
Holding you
Along the way ill open up
Its Healthier to grow across several months
