nights are best spent
melting into my bed
feeling waves crash over me
being pulled down to the depths of the sea
in the thin air
when the blankets feel like waves

and I can't see beyond this roof but-
I know there are stars above me
that knowing doesn't much frustrate me
I wish this world didn't have such a-
hold over me

I wish I could
drown in the sea
not my bed
it would be a far more honest way to die
I'd rather be ripped apart in a tide
than
black out under sheets
again

I can't play this to you
I'd cry
you'd turn away
or wonder why I cared
or was so hesitant
to give you a tape
with my heart inside
and the words in the tracklist
and lyrics in songs
which show you the melodies of love
that you'll never return

I've wasted my time on you
it was never meant to be
for I am your puddle
and you are my sea
