By The Throat Eyedea & Abilities

[Verse 1]
Oh how easily they forget, no anchor to the past
Cut the blood supply and hope the heart beats itself to death
My ribcage is now my own, still feels like your arms
Neck clothed in salt, how'd I let it go this far?
It happens faster than you could ever think
From always and forever to never again in less than a blink
The river runs until it's dry, but I die spitting
My last drip into its mouth to keep it alive
Long drives, wide eyes, and your smiling face
You dance, I drink, let's waste the night away
They say you always know right away, but you can't foresee your sand
Being pulled into the sea under a tidal wave
Secrets leak out when you're asleep
Coming from a queen's mouth, talk isn't all that cheap
I'm now a lone flame searching for a purpose
Setting fires everywhere I go, can't avoid the burns
We shared pain, you took me by my throat
And made me understand the world as if I were you, and I couldn't breathe
And you can lead a horse to fresh water
But you can't teach it how to be okay when you decide to leave
I'm lost, there's no one to protect
I got so used to being sheltered from the rain that always followed you
It's not my first time, actually it's nothing new
But that doesn't make it any easier to get through
