There's coldness all around me
Everything is so far away
Light years of empty space
Between you and me
And I'm burning up my soul
Just to feel a little warmer
Burning up my soul
So you might see me from over there
Might see the flickering fire
Of my broken soul
I'm losing myself
I'm drowning
All alone in the middle of an ocean of coldness
I'm losing
But I don't care no more
So I pour another glass of gasoline
Into my burning soul

I'm starting to see ghosts everywhere
They are all around me
all inside me
Lurking behind corners
And under my bed
Not just reaching for my feet
But reaching for my heart
Touching me in my most vulnerable moments
When I wake up
But haven't quite woken up yet
And am still lost in my dreams
They are clutching my guts
And trying to choke me
I'm starting to see ghosts everywhere
You tell me they aren't real
But I know you're one of them

It was more like I was slowly sinking
deeper and deeper each day

You poured your love into me
And it drenched my heart
streamed through my veins
Soaking every single cell of my body
Leaking out of the pores of my skin
And dripping from my fingertips
To bleed into everything I touch

It flooded my chest
And filled up my lungs
Until it spilled out of my mouth
Trickling from my tongue
Saturating every single word I say

It flowed through every part of me
And eventually seeped into my bones
Making all that I am
Crave all that you are

I never fell in love with you
I drowned in it

The brain is like a map.
Every path leads me to you.

You're still stuck on my fingertips
And leave your mark on everything I touch
Maybe it's time to wash you away.

Suddenly, everything changed
The universe I knew was supposed to be black
But never had I seen all these tones of grey
Dark figures emerged
And the sky was full of blood
Drowning millions of lights beneath its greedy waves
And I thought the world was going to end
As everything I used to know started to change
Fire appeared on the horizon
And I was blinded by it
Everything went from black to white
But once my eyes had adjusted
I saw that the world didn't end
It was full of colours
No, it rather seemed like it had just been born
a sunrise

Like a steady drizzle
You changed me
I didn't even notice you did
Until my soul was soaked
