[Prozac]

Your heartbeat is pulsing at night in your chest
It's gold and it's glowing with all the life you have left
I received your words from hospitals
Where you felt alone
Your words like smoke, they made me sick
But they kept me warm

Run where you'll be safe
Through the garden gates
To the shelter of magnolias

Eyes like sea glass, so weathered and worn
From all they've seen of adolescence torn
The lovers who have tainted you
They pulled you into the night
They touched your skin with velvet gloves
And made you feel alive

There's not much time
The blush in the sky begins to fade

You were weathered and worn
Your petals soft and torn
The fading colour
You have bent your shoulders
To hold the weight of the world
You will surely shatter
