Beautiful stranger You came along at the wrong time I'm just a shadow Of how you see me in your mind And you're a scavenger Sniffing out the scraps of what I left behind Much like the vultures Circling over both our heads Sooner or later They know we'll remember we've been dead This whole time I'm ruling the kingdom of the blind So leave me alone now I'm taking the medicine I can't be around anyone I need to be silent in my skin Dwell in the stillness Feel only the movement of my breath And how it affects the air Molecules around my body Their subtle circulation Could sufficiently captivate My attention for centuries What else could we need, really? I wanted to warn you Said I'm carrying some trauma as my chest Clenches into a fist Pulled back and ready to swing 'Cause you kinda look like him You got the same way Of looking at me like you own me And I used to like that I guess But not anymore Now it makes me feel like I am drowning So don't touch me I've got more important things to do And I couldn't tell you How good it feels to realize That I never needed him And I'll never tell myself those lies About what I need again I don't need anything at all I already have it Heaven exists in every breath Within every moment Is every birth and every death That will ever happen It's already happened It'll happen again I guess
