Helium (feat. Lexi Norton)

That night, in the silence of my dimly lit room
 I felt you exit through my chest
 I sat there clinging onto my knees in denial
 Quietly folding myself in half beneath the cold sheets
 With each weeping breath I felt fragments of you leave
 Releasing themselves through my tightly clinched throat
 Carbon dioxide flavoured sentences expelling themselves from my lips
 Your poems began to lift away from my hollow skin
 With the same grace a balloon uses as it slips through the fingertips of a curious child
 Confused, yet hopelessly in awe...
 Arms extended, reaching for the strings
 What a fool I was for thinking I could keep you
 Pretending you were made of something else
 Something tangible, something real
 You made me believe you were more than just a light in a colourless element
 But you were built solely for drifting away
 And when I see you again, with my eyelids heavy
 I will not fall to your feet I will be new, I will be clean
 A disease of your kind cannot exist within my frame
