Nothing Worth This Feeling

Drugged to the floor, but I couldn't open my eyes to make out whom it was who struck me down.

Even with all these experiences, god those failures I still cannot command this, this wretched heart whose weight lays heavier than the lies that it has managed to let spill

And whose poetry would reach my ear to steer myself farther from what I've been searching for

Even so I couldn't forget this wasn't enough and everything you gave I just wanted more

Because the hole I dug out is too big to fill and all the nothings I crammed in has amounted to what it was equaled to, this that I've been left with, what I'm happy with, is this feeling of being able to lose myself again and again to find it has been everything all along that has given me complete freedom

And in chaos I have learned that I havent been short of anything

Open my eyes wide enough I did, oh and I saw that it was I, who had given the blow
