Send Me Skyward

Waking up on empty
Head full of dread
There's that silent alarm
There's the ringing in my head

I've been reaching for focus but
Fall at the flag
I'm diving for the finish but
There's fifty more laps
I reach out to hold you, but
I lose my footing
Falling
Headfirst forever

Break through the skyline, break through the
Clouds to you
Hold tight my hand now, stay close forever, hoping you
See me too
If you are the ocean, I'd drown my
Life in you,
Hope your waves catch me now,
Falling headfirst to you.

Watch me try and fight,
Watch me try to stay alive
There's no second try,
There's no second try.

I'm waking up on empty,
Ten years upstream,
There are bills to pay,
There are mouths to feed,
I'm grasping for a guarantee
I'm begging for a breath
And although I know
I'm just dreaming this
Feels so real
But your voice, is inside these walls and I
Can't find you,
But the worry carries on, until I wake up

Break through the skyline, break through the
Clouds to you
Hold tight my hand now, stay close forever, hoping you
See me too
If you are the ocean, I'd drown my
Life in you,
Hope your waves catch me now,
Falling headfirst to you.

Break down doors so
I can feel you,
Feel your hand touching mine.
Life can be so
Unforgiving
If it takes you away then
I
I will not close these eyes

Tearing suture from suture to see
None of this will comfort me
I'd rather be a bag of bones
Than the skeleton of past you and me

Look at the stars now,
Send me across the sky.
I'm praying you see me
Finding our afterlife
Holding the tears back,
Leaving the earth tonight
I'm taking a running jump
Into your arms

Cos you have my heart,
I will hold onto you,
I'd trade all my seconds for
One final hour
Cos you have my heart,
My heart belongs to you,
Sending me skyward, to
Live in the stars with you.
