Barn Cat

I am the forest, be careful of the air that you breathe
I feel you choking, cursing everything you believe
The smoke is rising, so you touch the ceiling
Your lungs embrace me, I swear that this is healing
I'm such a liar
The truth, it never crosses my teeth
So, I vomit, as if my words bring on my disease
I feel my conscious, it's slowly drowning
I watch the horror in it's eyes
My mind is always pounding

Bury your forgiveness and pray that it grows to be tall and straight
Not crooked, like you are used to being
Bending under pressure, falling onto your knees
Knowing not of pleasure, falling in love with grief

To know you like you know me? The thought just seems absurd
To hold you like you hold me? I'm never finding the words
Better or not, I guess it's always my curse
I believe that I am always my curse

You will always see me here
I spoke these words when I found my fears
"You are not alone"
We climbed upon the roof and stared at the stars
We contemplated jumping, but knew I wouldn't fall far
I'm not afraid to die
When water started puddling at my feet
I fell upon my knees and accepted defeat because you were always right
I'm terrified to die

Bring me your flame
My light died around the time that you're mind had changed
Sing me to sleep, and should I awake in your better place, I was wrong
