Lie Here and Float Away

I'm trying
I'm trying
I'm trying to get through to you.
The worlds between us obscure my view
And interrupt my thoughts.
The smoke in the sky tells me nothing new.
Everything and nothing can fly between us
But it will all fall to the ground long before.

So I think I'll just lie here.
Why can't I just lie here?
The ground feels hard and cold
The ground feels like me.
Why can't I just lie here?
I'll look into the sky and wonder what could have been.
I'll look into the sky and watch the atoms collide.
And I think I think I'll just lie here, in the storm.

I can see the memories, floating past.
The past is teasing me now, and I can't remember.
What if I could leap into a pool,
And look around to find your eyes,
Watching me like they do?
The flames can lick my skin
And I'll treat them like a pet.
I can feed the flames
And when they are done,
There will be nothing to find among the bones.

So I think I'll just lie here.
Why can't I just lie here?
The ground feels cold and hard.
The ground feels like me.
Why can't I just lie here?
Everything is different down here
It is all the same.
I can let our hearts wash over me
And I can drown in the sweetness of a kiss.
So I think I'll just lie here, watch myself float away.

Float away, among the colliding atoms.
Float away, into a stormy night full of lost and found.
Float away, I'll find a path between those worlds.
Float away, above the smoke it's clear.
Float away, your eyes can be my beacon.
Float away, I'll watch the charred bones at the bottom of the pool, as they reconvene
Float away, but don't look to the sky.
I think I'll just lie here, and float away.
Why can't I just lie here?
