i didn't need to be anyone
to anyone
but the deed is done
now i'm movin on
i couldn't catch the clouds
fast enough
now they're playing rough
and something wicked's sure
to come.
haven't followed through
with any plans,
now i watch my hands
slowly come undone.
chasing shadows into
broken doorways
was never okay
but neither was chasing
the sun.

and they said i would
fade away if i stayed
away for too long.
hey you know they
aren't so right, but
they're not so wrong.
and the deed is done
so i'm moving on.

don't bother to catch me.
don't bother to. break me.
don't. and if you see him,
tell him i am happy. if you.
see him. i am. happy. if.
you. catch him. if you.
tell him. i am happy. i am.
i. am.
i.

happy. i am.

gone.
