Do You?

Do you ever think about the stars,
the ones that no longer shine,
the ones that are no longer quite bright,
the ones that have burned out?

Do you ever think about the world,
how many people and beings
have come and gone,
how many are still here,
and how you're just one in millions,
how you should feel
so insignificant and small?
Do you feel so insignificant, so small?
Do you? Do you? Do you?

In a crowd of millions
and millions of people,
what do you see,
to whom do you plea?
In a crowd of hundreds
and hundreds of people,
is it still the same,
does it ever change?
In a crowd of ten
and only ten people,
who do you see,
to what do you plea?
In a crowd of one
and only one,
does it remain the same,
will you ever change?

and then they was gone
and I was gone too
we never made a promise to stay
and yet our fingers were always crossed
did you know,
did you ever know?
Did you ever look and see
the monsters we swore we were
but you refused to see?
Did you, did you, do you?

In a crowd of millions
and millions of people,
what do you see,
to whom do you plea?
In a crowd of hundreds
and hundreds of people,
is it still the same,
does it ever change?
In a crowd of ten
and only ten people,
who do you see,
to what do you plea?
In a crowd of one
and only one,
does it remain the same,
will you ever change?

and we tried to warn you,
how cruel the mind could be.
and we tried to warn you,
just how broken broken could be.
and we tried to warn you,
how we weren't good,
how you couldn't rely on us-
don't tell us that we saved you.
We really really didn't,
yeah we really really didn't,
No,
cuz sacrifices are only sacrifices
if the sacrifice doesn't want to go
and we all want to go
we all wanted to go
and so we go and so we went,
won't you go too won't you won't you
don't you please don't go too

I'll ask again,

In a crowd of millions
and millions of people,
what do you see,
to whom do you plea?
In a crowd of hundreds
and hundreds of people,
is it still the same,
does it ever change?
In a crowd of ten
and only ten people,
who do you see,
to what do you plea?
In a crowd of one
and only one,
does it remain the same,
will you ever change?

WIP

I'm holding on for you,
begging myself to stay strong for you,
wishing on the clouds above for you,
Wondering
How much deeper will I go
I don't know

You've consumed my mind with your words
like I was afraid you would someday.
You've promised to stay by my side,
help me mend these broken parts.

And here's what I don't really ever say;
I'm ready to walk away, end it all,
give up everything, leave you behind
all I ever say is I can't breathe anymore,
I can't do this anymore
and then I do
and I dedicate it all to you

Dedicate it to every word you say
Every reminder of okayness you send
and you don't know and you don't know

WIP

cos everything feels like
it's spinning out of control,
like days could pass
and it'd all feel the same,
like I could just lay here,
and my existence would eventually fade
This game of charades will eventually end.
This game of pretend will eventually end.
So I'll eventually end, too,
and so will you

But that doesn't mean
we have to throw it all away,
that doesn't mean
it's over before we even get started,
and that doesn't mean
nothing matters because
everything matters when it comes to you,
when it comes to you and me

You and I have a whole other world to see,
dimensions to travel, universes to create.
You and I have an entire adventure to share,
won't you let me tag along on your quest,
your quest to save yourself, to love yourself,
because I have the same purpose as you do,
so won't you let me tag along?
I swear I'll write us a victory song
and the universes will sing along.
