You Were Not There - Post Animal

I took a turn so harsh and mean

I was confused at how to be

It was a normal time for you

But such an awkward time for me

And now I’m sitting, blinking, feeling, watching, spinning out of my control

It came through rumbling down on me

Before I had a chance to think

There’s nothing else for me to do

But to embrace it at the speed of — heart is pounding, mind is racing,

eyes are rolling, everything went dark

Rolling, tumbling, rushing through to do enough

Fumbling, clumsily trying to keep up

It’s getting close enough to see

And I can hear it taunting me

It’s something bigger than I am

It’s saying catch me if you can

And for some reason I just really, really, think I can

You were nowhere to be found

You were not there

You were just there, now you’re gone

You must not care

I was not so upset that you were not there

It was about time to realize you did not care
