She’s watching t.v.
And she’s speeding up her breathing
She’s living in the moment
And she’s not letting anything bring her down
She’s focused on being unfocused
And she’s certain that she doesn’t know
But she’s speeding up her breathing
And getting ready for impact
And this is where she hits the breakdown
This is the only thing she knows
This is the way she sounds when going under
And this is only minutes away from the ground
Now she’s humming along with the stereo
And she’s speeding up her heartbeat
Thinking about anyone here now
Hoping the words mean more to anyone else at all
But now she’s focused
Her point is oh so precise
And she’s speeding up her heartbeat
Because it’s better than letting it lie
And this where she hits her breakdown
This is the only thing she knows
This is the way she sounds when she’s going under
And now she’s seconds away from the ground
How long before she crumbles?
It’s only a matter of time
How long before she plunges into the ocean?
It’s only a matter of time
She’s falling faster than anyone could help
And she’s sinking faster than she could tell
Now she’s turning up the stereo
But she’s watching with the tv on mute
So no one can hear her heartbeat race
And no one can hear her breathing increase
And no one can hear her cries in the night
That disappear in the light
She’s heading towards the ground
And she hits it every night
But whenever the sun creeps in through her windows
She’s a bit higher in the air than she thinks
And she knows there’s someone who’s going to catch her
When she can wake herself up
