Fight or Flight

I've got visions of us Growing old, growing stuck To the frame of the bed where we have laid to rest We'll grow hollow in that room As our bodies stay, our minds are drifting fumes They float from our bodies, from their bed, from our brains, to their grave I see you clear in flight You are an all consuming light I feel it all with fright It is a never ending fight or flight To lose, to love, to leave, to stay It is us until the end I am certain, it is plain But I am a poet, I breathe for the tension, the release And it'll push us to the edge Make us fear imbalance on the ledge 'Cause we are manipulators and gifted providers of guilt I see you clear in flight You are an all consuming light I feel it all with fright It is a never ending fight or flight To lose, to love, to leave, to stay
