Trampoline

She had mixed me
With someone she once seen
Projected on her screen
Now I'm blue tacked above her forefeet
So go lightly, don't wake her, let her dream

Reflecting off the roof
The whole world shimmers for you
On a tree lined road

My body took leave of my soul
"Hold on tight, oblivion", she screams
She's so strong when she's digging into me

My head almost broke my heart
Perfection takes me years
To unravel and maul apart

The trampoline is getting torn
Landing hard and taking off
What now must I use
To get us both airborne?

I press green to play
But the dial tone encores for me
I try to dodge the cracks

So not to hex it or paint it black
I'm starting to feel tremors of faith
But never before on this scale

My head almost broke my heart
Perfection takes me years
To unravel and maul apart

The trampoline is getting torn
Landing hard and taking off
What now must I use
To get us both airborne?

You and I always had
Someone to talk us down
You and I learned how to live
Without solid ground

You and I hump up and down on
These straining ties
That we're guaranteed to bind

My head almost broke my heart
Perfection takes me years
To unravel and maul apart

The trampoline is getting torn
Landing hard and taking off
What now must I use
To get us both airborne?

My head almost broke my heart
