Kite

for ten a.m.
 i set my clock
 crawl into bed
 and wait for the day to stop
 stop
 sleeping alone
 again tonight
 i search for a trace of you here on this pillow-side
 side
 the beauty in the world can cut you
 for every boy or girl that shut you down
 a field the run the rain the bottle
 a song was sung i open the throttle and fly
 i am a kite
 and the strong survive
 to sail out on the wind
 without a note
 i cut the rope
 this is not the end
 the sun comes through
 the window like
 the gaze of god
 sunny day sky
 sky
 a key appears
 like a lightning night
 i search for a trace of you here by this fireside
 the beauty in the world can cut you
 for every boy or girl that shut you down
 a field the run the rain the bottle
 a song was sung i open the throttle and fly
 i am a kite
 and the strong survive
 to sail out on the wind
 without a note
 i cut the rope
 this is not the end
 it's 2: 58 i'm still lying here awake
 i can't close my eyes without seeing our fate
 i thought i could decide
 to shrug and be fine
 but our love was licorice not totally sweet
 sometimes delicious
 then salt like the sea
 i am a kite
 and the strong survive
 to sail out on the wind
 i am a kite
 and the strong survive
 to sail out on the wind
 without a note
 i cut the rope
 this is not the end
 this is not the end
 i am a kite
 and the strong survive
 to sail out on the wind
 this is not
