There's something in the undertow That pulls me in when I want to go I swear my heart is fused to you And youre too blind to see it Can't you feel it? Beating there Next to yours, willing to share Hoping to be seen, for fear You'll pull it off and leave it Don't forget me, we're attached By shiny wires, ropes, and tacks Staples, tape, glue, a mask I know its broken, thats the trap Im so much nicer than you deserve While hanging on your every word Lies on lies but they fuel my soul Just words to you, but to me, gold Then flick me off like lint on sleeves Like everything was all a dream Weaponize the silence most While i drown, you fake to float Another day of empty waiting Another day you dont come back I sit, here wrestling my violence But you hold no space for that Oh pretty mess, what have you done You've taken off, right for the sun Somehow forgot im still attached So I guess I'll burn with you I wasn't ready yet, to go Or to die, or to loathe So tell me as I scream your name Why you're so conceited

Conceited
I tried to hold the ocean near, It whispered soft, then pulled, sincere The waves were kind, the tide a friend, A gentle sway that seemed to mend. I laughed, I floated, light and free, Its arms like silk surrounding me. I thought I could trust, thought it was mine, A calm embrace, a place to shine. But currents shifted, shadows grew, The whispers darkened, cold winds blew. It ****** me in, then spat me out, Again, again— I feared, I doubt. For fleeting moments, the water calmed, And I felt safe, my heart was warmed. I trusted it, I leaned, I stayed, Believing pain could somehow fade. A ripple stirred, a shadow passed, The gentle sea would never last. Waves twisted, darkened, cold and sly, A whisper of danger, a muted cry. I cant hold on, though I reach wide, Grasping for rocks where I can hide. A solid shore, a steady hand, Something I thought I might withstand. But even stone is slick and cold, The ocean drags me, uncontrolled. The tide that soothed became a gun, It struck, it roared, it weighed a ton. I could not leave, though pain was clear, The ocean’s grasp pulled me near. A gentle world now torn and wild, I float alone, the ocean’s child A tranquil home turned violent, deep, It drags me down, I cannot sleep Beauty dissolved into jagged foam, The sea, once kind, became my tomb. For a moment, the waters still, A fragile peace, a fleeting thrill. I felt held, almost complete, The tide receded— cold, discreet. It spat me out, Abrupt, controlled I tumbled alone where the waters rolled. A part of me wished it would return, A siren call I knew I must spurn. And now I drift where waves have ceased, A hollow calm, a broken peace. I watch the horizon, tense with ache, Drawn to the pull I cannot break. I try to mend, to patch what’s torn, But every lull feels bruised and worn. The ache remains, the doubt still feeds, What if the tide returns with greed? Phantom currents curl in my mind, Imaginary waves that pull, confine I reach for something, anything to hold, But the ocean is gone— its story cold. And if it returns, will I cry for help, Accept my fate, or leap without doubt? Will I be strong, or slip once more, Back to the tide I once adored?

Maelstrom’s Child: Between the Waves
I tried to hold the ocean near, It whispered soft, then pulled, sincere The waves were kind, the tide a friend, A gentle sway that seemed to mend.

But currents shifted, shadows grew, The whispers darkened, cold winds blew. It ****** me in, then spat me out, Again, again— I feared, I doubt.

There's something in the air That makes me feel like I've been here before The birds chirping The sun disappearing and reappearing behind fluffy white clouds The soft breeze The heat I've lived this summer before Maybe in a different universe, Another life time, Or a dream... Maybe I'm still asleep

Summer
You said our fire burned too bright We lost control of the flame But I've been dancing here, dwelling I'll take the blame Because I'd watch the world burn for you And I'd do it with no shame You said our fire burned too bright We lost control of the flame. I can see that you've realized where you're standing You're not lost in it anymore Now you're drowning And to let you save yourself is the only way Because I'm dancing in this light And you're afraid You found a way too quench your thirst And **** the flame Put out the fire give up desire you didn't refrain For I was so in love with the love and not the man I didn't see I never saw you walk away.

There's something about you That blows my mind so completely. I want to stand on the edge of a cliff And shout my love for you to the stars

You saved me yesterday When the rolling clouds were dark The wind, like a hurricane, Was whipping through my heart It was beating just as loud as the thunder over head All i felt was dread The ground shook with emotion While i tried to hold it in But my mind felt like exploding from the pain that i was in Then you, stranger, walked on by And took me by surprise Grabbed my hand, pulled me up,  looked into my eyes All you said was 'hi' And i felt that could breathe My heart, though it stayed racing Stopped pounding in my sleep Angry clouds above me Started to evaporate The walls that surrounded me Began to dissipate And though the world was shining Once again renewed I couldn't take my eyes off of the beauty that was you

Yesterday
The bright summer sun warms my skin instead of energy, it puts me to sleep Gone are the days, id run and play And the joy i wish i could keep      The smell in the air is nostalgic Of a memory just out of reach Not sure if its real or i dreamt it But its of one i can no longer see      Is the laughter from my past a real sound? Or something id wished i had heard? Memories fade so much with time And recalling them seems so absurd    You havent been here for a while These memories keep coming in waves Feeling so lost yet familiar Something i cant get back or replace

Surreal
I'd scream If I weren't Empty But I'm Mumbling Through this line I'm sorry, I don't get it Had my head down for a minute So just quit it I think my heart stopped For like five And suddenly I've Been revived I'm still Dead And I'm terrified That I can't remember The last time I cried Hey I'd scream if I weren't empty But I'm mumbling I'm Mumbling Through this line

Mumbling
I hide it so good baby I hide it so well You'll never know babe I'm going through hell It's not the first time First time that I'll die All on the inside Not the first time I've cried It's not the last time I'm saying good bye It's not the last time Last time that I lie Just want you to know Babe, I've got to go I say it so easy But you don't even know I hide it so good baby I hide it so well It's not the first time I've escaped from hell

You'll Never Know
It doesn't matter what I do I was made to worship you Kiss the ground that's held your feet Fight for you, never retreat Hold you up when you are down Give you breath before you drown But I am not perfect I can't do it all No matter what I do You make me feel small
