your love is a trap
i fall for it every time
how foolish of me
to believe you'd change
how foolish of you
to expect me to be there
you fall for me every time
my love is a trap

Drowning

You left me alone
With my thoughts again
I just want to feel something
Anything will do
Drowning in the endless sea
Of overwhelming expectaions

Will You Still Be There

When everyone else falls asleep
And I'm too bored to read
When I'm left all alone
You're too great of a love to be shone
Will you still be there
Lurking in the night
Wanting things to be alright
When I need comforting
I'm left frail and wondering
When I need to be loved
And my mind almost erupts
Will you still be there
When the world crumbles to my feet
And the devil is impossible to defeat
When the sun doesn't shine
Passing through my mind,
You're a distant memory
When i'm weak and have no energy
Will you still be there
As I refuse to get out of bed
And everything seems hopeless
When I can't speak my own words
Or hear my own thoughts
Will you still be there

Fly With Me

Take me to the moon
Tell me everything is good
Be patient and wait
Fly with me to Jupiter
Let nothing get in the way

Future Self

Dear Future Self,
Did you get everything you dreamed of?
More? Less?
Did you make it to the top, like you thought you would?
Or did you go the opposite way
Down in the dumps, salvaging off banana peels
struggling and scraping to get by
or never worrying about your next paycheck
I hope you got what you wanted
I hope you have everything you need
Are you loved?
If you are, by who?
Future self, don't be discouraged
You made it
-Your past self

— The End —
