I Saw You Hanging

A decaying butterfly
Experience I deny
I'm killing a reign tonight
Oh, but no, I allow it
I'm wanting to intervene
These things that lie in between
The now and the time before
Need I say more?

I thought I saw me grieving
I thought I saw you dead
And the truth it revealed was a lie instead
I thought I felt you dying
I swore I saw me there
I awoke to the fact that I didn't care

I can't stop thinking about it
It keeps on playing in my head
Bless the people who never wake
Bless the people who never wake

I thought I saw me grieving
I thought I saw you dead
And the truth it revealed was a lie instead
I thought I felt you dying
I swore I saw me there
I awoke to the fact that I didn't care

I dreamt I found you hanging
I didn't know what it meant
Your eyes would follow me, though
Everywhere I went
The windows on the 5th floor
Shattered as you wept
What am I witnessing?
What stories have you kept?

I thought I saw me grieving
I thought I saw you dead
And the truth it revealed was a lie instead
I felt you dying
I swore I saw me there
I awoke to the fact that I didn't care

I thought I saw (I saw you die)
I thought I saw (I saw you die)
I awoke so aware
I was never there
