Have you ever reached out
Only to scratch the surface?
The underside of the wave
The riptide of the ocean
Tumbling deeper and faster
The water pulling you down
Tossed about; where is up or down?
Scratch the surface with your hands
never to taste the air again

Don't push, it hurts me so
Why are these hands at my throat?
This is a place I'd almost forgotten
A place of mind caught drowning in the murky moat

I know the pain I know it all
Will it ever leave me and let me be?
A place I quickly remember
Broken devastation no other shall ever see

"I trust you"
Oh my dear my sweet
If only I was trustworthy

I used to have a button
Held in place by thread
But now the button's missing
I hope that he's not dead!

A thread is prone to wear,
A moment we dread and wait
But why would the thread let go,
Of such a ***** mate?

I hope to find my button;
For he was my friend too
And tie him down with a thread
Forever strong and true

When we can stand and fight
We can grasp true strength despite
The weakness in our hearts and sins within our minds
We know all it takes is time
To heal all wounds and strengthen our defenses

Do you remember when we met? I was in a terribly bad mood
Everyone thought I was being  funny, I was really just being rude
You asked what my name was though, not once, but twice
I hadn’t answered; a very simple but efficient device
A way to get most people to leave me alone; cause no one cares
But you didn’t let it slide, you wanted to know and made me aware

"Run, run, run for your life"
Oh how greatly we deceive ourselves
As if this life is worth running for
As if this life is worth saving
Someone thought that once
He died for what he believed
But May I just say you overestimated
My worth far too much
