Take Flight

What's earth like? Because I left in my past life What's the past like? Trash life Like, black night There was more to you, We were more than two. In moments Your forest grew. The ups and downs It's true I wasn't bulletproof Problems tend to rise When we're we're defeated and we tried Eating our person Where? Inside! Your forest grew What I mean is I appreciate you And my current view Is coming through. What I mean is Your heart was broken Left open And Life woke it. Left the planet During moments of panic What's the message? I'm making moves but an awkward flight It's like running with your shoes untied. It's funny when you stay alive. It's like you avoided bullets, Or maybe he didn't pull it. What I mean is like a tree You became grounded beneath Unlike me The Forrest growing you didn't see or believe. Tell me why it matters Why every moment felt faster And we paused when we saw What we were reaching after. We grew apart It was the trend Another one bites the devil This cheating can't be leveled. What I mean is here's the punchline Around lunch time We kissed by a garage You could say your tongue was tied.
