Burning Down Saturns Rings

I found this whilst looking through my files. It makes me sad because it's based on a real event, however I am fond of the title.

She wants to escape the life she sees,
She wants to live beside the sea,
For a little while, just a little while.

She paces away from her man,
Trying to tell him she's made a plan,
Without him, she doesn't want to be without him.

Her mind fights the words, her eyes fight the moment,
She's scared inside, but she's scared of nothing,
The moment fades in time, she pulls her cell phone,
She caresses the buttons, she tells him everything,

How do you take that? How does he take that?

When you've got everything, you wish for it to be taken away,
When you have no time, you wish time to drown,
When you're alone, claustrophobia comes to play,
When you have it all, weights magically lift the ground,

It makes a surrendering sound,
A sound of defeat surrounds,
Her grasp is tight, for a little while.

She relaxes; the word is okay,
She reads on, it's not okay,
A blatent attack on friends, but they're her friends.

Her mind fights the words, she tries not to say,
She's so scared inside, though she's scared of nothing,
The moment fades in time, retracting the cell phone,
She forgets the message, she's told him everything.

She's lost without him, is she better without him?

When you've got everything, you wish for it to be taken away,
When you have no time, you wish time to drown,
When you're alone, claustrophobia comes to play,
When you have it all, weights magically lift the ground,

Two prisms of love, two hearts of pain,
Two become one, into decay,
Two seperate minds, two different lives,
Living together but falling each day.

When you've lost everything you wish for another day,
When you have no plans, you wish back for your man,
When you're alone, claustrophobia 'I want to play'
When you had it all, you wish you never had.
