ashes (12/07)

i heard you when you said
that you're impossible
and i chose to ignore you
when you said thats not all
you spent time seeking silence
to find your own way out
and i spent time waiting sideline for you to break on down your doubt

and i heard you when you said
you couldn't get outside your head
and right then i learned that my say
had no space inside of it

and in time you'll burn away the heaviness
that holds you down
and when you finally break free
you'll cast the ashes all around

i heard you when you said you're sufficating here
your lungs too small too hold the air
four walls inching closer with each breath you breathe in
how could you help recoil
further further further further further within

i heard you when you said
that your impossible
i chose to ignore you
when you said thats not all
