soon the night sky will collapse and kill us with a ceiling of light making everything you believe in a catastrophic irony we believe what we perceive to be correct disregarding something standing, hardly breathing, staring at us behind our backs you go through me just like water motivated by something hotter complications but you've got her don't forget she's still your daughter we adapt accordingly to situations we don't know determined by our personality traits that stand out dominant under all these sheets i can still see the lights from the falling sky your timing is impeccable and if you read this then it's too late you go through me just like water motivated by something hotter complications but you've got her don't forget she's still your daughter i was just calling to see if anyone was home
