Shimmer

I remember
When I didn't lash out in a temper
I guess it's the pressure
Or the fear that the pain lasts forever

It was so easy and care free
Now it haunts me
It's dark and it's empty
I can't see what's in front of me

'Cause it shimmers
And it goes away
Shimmers
And then it goes away

You're like a modern day queen
And I'm just a head full of bad dreams
Tonight I'm wondering why I'm still alone
I'm afraid of my cellphone

I know that everybody wants to help me
And they want to know if this is helping
But I can't say

'Cause it shimmers
And it goes away
The light always dwindles
It doesn't stay

You said, "Let's wait until we're both thirty five"
I don't see our parents alive
Our bodies are velcro
I'm afraid of my cellphone
I'm afraid of my cellphone
I'm afraid of my cellphone
