torn between

pulled both ways but still suspended

the worst of each

reduced and blended

still suspended

suspended!

i thought i was stuck between two worlds

because i was not willing to let go!

recklessly pulled both ways

but somehow still suspended

the worst of each

reduced and blended

but as life unfolded i realized

the momentum to drift from side to side

came from within

came from inside!

i feel torn between two hearts dying but

i'll trade them in for one

broken and exposed

collapsing

so why would i hold on?

one heart turned black

the other blue and bruised

arms breaking

arms breaking from the dreams

dreams shattered

the dreams that i can't reach

there has to be

there has to be a choice i have not seen

i feel torn between two hearts dying but

i'll trade them in for one

broken and exposed

collapsing

so why would i hold on?

i feel torn between two hearts dying but

i'll trade them in for one

one darkened over time burning away the shame

erasing hidden insights i did not want to be seen

the other was beaten from being exposed

so it hurt less to never hold it close

i feel torn between two hearts dying but

i'll trade them in for one

broken and exposed

collapsing

so why would i hold on?

i feel torn between two hearts dying but

i'll trade them in for one

i'll trade them in for one!

neither heart had the power to fill my veins

or be the source of who i want to be
