How can you find beauty in something so ugly
Because your lies twinkle down my spine
Like sharp rose thorns in the spring time
You’re a rose and I’m afraid of being pricked
Everyone wanted me to see that we could not thrive, so gouge out my eyes.
Because if this is reality then I guess I'm not alive.
You’re like the Dead Sea I sink when you are with me
Covering me with sand all over my sunburnt wounds
I used to think you were the resilient hues in the sky bringing out sunlight
But you’re a tidal wave you rip right through me
The tears in my eyes are seen as cold and sad
The darkness of the rain you overcast breaks upon me
Take what you can from me
Take only what you need
A family of trees wanting to be haunted
Control yourself control your needs
Dreaming in the lows, I never thought I'd see this high
Now I'm shooting for the moon, you're calling me a lunar light
Staring at the roots, nobody there to help me grow
I was longing for the rain, you were the flood that made me overflow
You're everything that I hoped for
That's why I gave you my all
You're everything that I prayed for
But you were stolen
Why did everything change?
Everything was ours
Everything was stolen and now it’s all gone
We found the rain, but if we start to peel away the grey
Maybe we're home
When your heart weighs down on my shoulders
And your eyes wide lose me at sea
and your words make a smoldering fire
You are the moon pulling tides over me
Giving me grey notes that sing through the windows
Let’s,
Step out into the wild
There's a beautiful storm in your eyes
We're perfectly intertwined
And if it's quite alright, you could be my way of life
Sea salt sits on your lips
Birds fall earthwards from cliffs
Thought I couldn't do this
But I'm fine 'cause you're by my side
Now where do you go?
Why do you leave?
And as the waves grow in between
Harder the days go
Darling I'm folding
I'm on my knees
You give me nothing
When there's nothing else
So deep the water
But you're hiding in the shallows
And I'm left here drowning out

I can’t keep sinking deeper and deeper in my mistakes. Take me with you I’m tired of feeling like a waste of space. My dreams are filled with you when will you realize. I picture a reality between you and I. But for now I’ll surely sink or swim so deep the water my beautiful friend.
