Impact (I React)

Such a careful, dangerous word

You say it stronger than I've ever heard

It's impact,

Sets my heart in motion.

I react,

And you separate your land from my ocean.

We both know you don't mean it,

So why bother saying it?

Such a scary, comforting shove

You do it better than I ever dreamed of

It's impact,

Sets my body in a haze.

I react,

And you throw on our blaze.

No matter how great we may be,

You have to create a tragedy.

Such a careful, dangerous word

You tell me what I've already heard

For once, could you not lie,

When you say this is goodbye?
