Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

I found myself running toward your love at full speed with everything i had and when i looked up searching for a finish line all i saw was a flash of red before my face hit the bricks...

Wait...
Pause...
Breathe...

I found myself slowing my pace down to a walk that allowed me to see the world outside my window...
I found myself steadying my breath until it became smooth and free...
I found myself examining the scars and sifting through the blue
I found myself...
I found myself...
I found
Myself underneath all of the torn and tattered red, black and blue...
And i found myself happy on the other side of that battered brick wall safe and hidden from the repetition of you...
