Momentary
I never liked to run until it was gone
 
 When I dropped the music stopped
 So did my chances
 
 When the 15 seconds go
 And I start to hurt
 Then I remember
 
 My own scream
 Still rings in my ears
 My own legs
 Fell under me and
 
 For a very long time
 Every day I would cry
 Could barely move
 In my bed all alone
 My eyes shut against tears
 
 Everything that I feel
 I soon forget is real
 No one will hold me
 No one I will let
 For if you touch me
 Then I am weak
 
 For 15 seconds
 I am free
 My feet touch the ground
 Patter down
 I reach out and touch the wind
 One jump and
 I am free
 
 Freedom is fake
 It never stays
 And when it goes
 It leaves a burning trace
 I was one there
 And now I never
 Want another scar
 
 It’s momentary
