So you've come back.
I'd come straight towards you
to run right through you
I'd ran away
I tried to forget
I've avoided you
But you came back.
You always come back.

The shadow lies over
But not all the time
It disappears for a while
And you feel safe
Safe...
For a little while, you are safe
Then it comes back
And you're back where you were
Shut down
Silence yourself

Can I look at the sky for just one moment?
Can I think about language one more time?
Can I hear that name without shivering in fear?
No.

I say I like clouds,
and their pretty color gradients
I say I love the languages
Spanish, German, and Icelandic
I see that name come across my mind
And I can't help but fear
Fear and sorrow
It still haunts me

Why did it come to this?
Why can't I look at the sky and smile anymore?

I know someone is hurting
Someone is hurting, and they meant nothing

I know someone was hurt
Unintentional, and stretched to infinity

Someone had hurt me
And they hurt themselves, too

You see,

The hurting lit a cigarette,
and, anxious, threw it here.
The hurt one saw the ash and smoke
And stretched words with her tears.
The last one took the spark and tears
And most importantly, my fear
To burn that land down to the ground
And now, they grin from ear to ear

...

...oh, if only you knew.
For I know.
I knew it all.
I can see through you.
All three of you.

You hurt all of us
You know who you are
And I know one of you will blame it on yourself.
It is not you.
You are the hurting.
Do not cause yourself more pain than you already feel.
...Please.

But y o u.
If you see this, you know who you are.
. . .
What a sour taste it puts in my mouth
I didn't trust you from the start
I never did.

Your future lies in fire
You know that as well as I.
