grasping at straws
stumbling around
staring at photos that remind me of
something thoughtful, something true

i tear up the map
stare straight ahead
hold my breath and close my eyes
jump into the lukewarm abyss

it seems you left me here all on my own
my feet weren't quite ready for walking
so, here i am, i'm falling
ahead of where i should be
behind where i could be
somewhere around where i would be, if life was mine to decide

flick my butane lighter
set the map afire
and laugh as it falls
a little bit slower than i do

try to keep afloat
just keep losing track
of where i am and where i go
i close my eyes and jump
