split down the middle like a stake into dirt cranium to ankles my achilles tendon rips it snaps and retracts to my spine and upper back spreads across my shoulders tense as spider ridden bats gurgling and churning my minds in a struggle to contain my deepest thoughts of death strung out to miracles joy and ambition silence and submission interlock together like waves pounding crystals so we run for the shore escape the pain we felt before run for the shore black out screaming on the floor run for the shore until you can t run no more run for the shore this time around i m not gonna be a fool as i tread through the valley seeking out the golden rules if i had a cable i d cut myself free to leave our past behind and separate entirely cause love can lead to tears and tears can lead to sorrow scrambled colors mingle as falling liquids swallow open wounds in acid dipped in salt too the roots that we grew have rotten through and through the roots that we grew have rotten through so we run for the shore escape the pain we felt before run for the shore black out screaming on the floor run for the shore until you can t run no more run for the shore run for the shore escape the pain we felt before run for the shore black out screaming on the floor run for the shore until you can t run no more run for the shore we run we run from ourselves no we run we run from ourselves no we run we run we run we run without our health you have to try you have to try you have to try you have to try you have to try you have to try you have to try you have to try
