Dissonance
All of this unrelieved tension
Between you and me
Sounds of near sudden death
Softly overbearing
Plot your dispositions carefully
You would find yourself wrapped around the tree
It should have been me
I should have taken your place
Unglue your painful misconception
Of the world you might miss
It took a day and a night
To figure out your whole entire life
I wouldn't know what to do
If I knew you might die
I learned a lot about life today
About how I should live
And how I should sometimes let things go
Or hold on for a little more
I think about you everyday
I hope the world won't stay the same
