Towers Rise As Hearts Crumble

I am a cracked pot.

And I don't want to be fixed.

My heart is breaking

And I cannot be fixed.

Take me out of this time, this moment, this scene..

Take me away from this place, this situation, please...

I will always be this soul, no one can rein in

I will always be a bird, ready for take off

I will always be this deadened

Lifeless mannequin marked with stigmata

Can I ever get so far?

As to get away from everything that makes me me

Endless ferris wheel ride, all lights and sounds

Wanna waste a little time with me?

Run after me, then, because I'll always run a little faster

Hold me in your arms, hold me tight

Because my heart and soul are about to float away

Take me away from myself

Because I've grown tired of this meaningless shell

Yes, empty vessel, empty pot, empty heart

Nothing else exists, except the superficial

Blow me away, I am as light as a thought

As shallow as a puddle

As meaningless as a whim

As careless as a whisper

As shortlived as a trip

Throw me away, I am as useless as the day's paper

Throw myself away, I cannot see anymore

I cannot feel, do not want to rather

For all this meaning means nothing

Brings us to nowhere

And breaks us everywhere

- Counting Crows

As I am counting my days

As I am counting the pieces of my scattered heart

Count me out


I am done.
