musical theatre

i was running

it was a cold night

i feel breaths so heavy on my chest

i see it smoky white

i turn around to see if i had lost them now

i chase

i'm run- i'm running

i'm run- i'm running out of time

and i feel it faster

i hear the footsteps catching up on me

i bite my lip so hard

i bite the skin off completely

i feel the blood about to drip

i save it with my tongue

it tastes like metal

i tell myself no matter what happens tonight that everything will be ok

yeah

everything is gonna be alright

i'm not sure if i believe it

but i hold onto it so much

so tight

i really squeeze it

i mash it up so hard inside my hand i'm almost sure that i killed out

i check it for a pulse but i can't remember abc correctly

i think i feel a beat

i think i feel a beat

i really need you still

come on

i really need you

get up

i help it get on top of my back

i wrap it 'round my body

i want it underneath my clothes

i lick the holes and toes and elbows

i shove it up inside me so it knows

never to scare me like that again

never to leave

always to stay

never go away

no

never scare me like that again

always stay

always stay

always stay

i know i am not alone

happy somewhere

i feel it

can't feed it

i feel it

i'm not defeated

don't have to see it

you can be it

yeah i mean it

i'll be it

when nothing ever sounds like it should

nothing ever sounds like it should

nothing ever sounds like it should

nothing ever sounds like it should

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on

i keep on holding on
