There's something in the undertow
That pulls me in when I want to go
I swear my heart is fused to you
And youre too blind to see it
Can't you feel it? Beating there
Next to yours, willing to share
Hoping to be seen, for fear
You'll pull it off and leave it
Don't forget me, we're attached
By shiny wires, ropes, and tacks
Staples, tape, glue, a mask
I know its broken, thats the trap
Im so much nicer than you deserve
While hanging on your every word
Lies on lies but they fuel my soul
Just words to you, but to me, gold
Then flick me off like lint on sleeves
Like everything was all a dream
Weaponize the silence most
While i drown, you fake to float
Another day of empty waiting
Another day you dont come back
I sit, here wrestling my violence
But you hold no space for that
Oh pretty mess, what have you done
You've taken off, right for the sun
Somehow forgot im still attached
So I guess I'll burn with you
I wasn't ready yet, to go
Or to die, or to loathe
So tell me as I scream your name
Why you're so conceited
