They ask me where I'm going
I say north south
A bitter taste left in my mouth
They ask me where I'm going
I say east west
I'm on house arrest
I'm staying here
Or I'm moving in a straight line
I'm sorry
That I don't know what the **** is going on in my mind
Please take me away from here
Before I drown in myself
Give me true love
or maybe some beer
I'm sorry I left
But I'll eventually circle back
I think of leaving you
And I have panic attacks
But you don't love me
I guess I should take a clue
You ask me where I'm going
I say north south
I've wasted my youth
You ask me where I'm going
I say east west
I failed my acid test
I'm sorry that I'm leaving
But the air is just so heavy
And I'm having trouble breathing
Ill circle back again

My words caught in my throat
and as they clumsily tumbled from my mouth
They fell heavily on my shoulders
And stung my eyes
As I tried to swallow them
A few hung in the air
While the others fluttered in my stomach
Beating against my ribcage

My thoughts are an ocean
They stretch farther than the eye can see
Scary to all
Beautiful to some
Vast and full of questions with few answers
The deeper you look the darker they get
They come through in waves
Large masses charging in from the horizon
Crashing against the rocks behind my eyes
Disintegrating to sparkling sea foam
Before I can grasp them
The waves come to life
Pummeling me
Grabbing for my throat
I slowly drown in myself
As they carry me to shore
My body finally feels the warmth
Of the sun
