Just swallow it. Swallow everything you thought you knew about me Because I’m as vast and vacant as the ocean And we’ll both get lost before you understand. See, you think monsters only exist under beds or in the dark, But the only monsters I’ve seen are in my brain. So I guess that’s why I’m more afraid of being alone Than in the dark. See, it’s the unknown that scares us the most. Whether it’s our thoughts or the water beneath us, It’s all the same. We don’t know where we’re going And we’re too scared to go find out. So, we sit. We sit and we think too much And we end up killing ourselves Before the world around us has the chance to.

Just one more thing
