zoo

i honestly don't think
that you really understand
how this feels to me

you're standing still
like you're scared
of everything that could be
but please don't think
that just because i love this
that i can throw it all away
because nothing has ever felt so ...
perfect

i want to listen to you more
i want to know you forever
but you'll stop that
in a dream of plenty
with some drink and rope
in a pristene clean room
and swing and swing and sway

i won't say that you're childish
to want to end it all
but nothing could be more heartless
but then ...

why should you live in pain
when everyone around you
sits and stares
at the animal in the cage
locked inside his heart.
