i’m gonna



I’m gonna fly away from here   
find me an isolated coast  
to drown in a little spring  
filled with your pure dreams.  
Dreams that yet have to reach you, baby
  
I’m gonna walk to my future grave-sight  
carve my own headstone  
just in case this world gets strange  
that it won’t dock at my pier for this ceremony  

if I couldn’t reach you  
because the fortune teller was right  
I’m gonna be wishing that you
choose my name on an impulse   
walk on an empty vein  
wishing you to commit murder    
wanting you to kill this pestering sting
something that tags a long way back
murder it with the gentle warmth of your embrace  
the soft stabbing of your lips on my mouth  
the glow of serenity in your eyes
after dissecting my story  

I was hypnotized since I saw you  
violating the sanctity of childhood 
always doing your thing baby    
I know i’m fading, right    
between the collapsing waves
ignoring me here

I know i’ve got served the right ending   
trapped & lonely    
for dealing with you  
but it’s o.k.  
I’ve got something right  
I’m loving you …… elsee
