I touch my face to make sure I’m Still there Smoke a cigarette Drink a whiskey Take myself home But I can’t find peace anywhere. In the room with you I just want to run It’s myself that scares me In the room with you I want to run It’s my own stupid self that scares me. I will keep swimming until my skin disintegrates And I crumble like ground up glass on the ocean floor Shattering with color when the sun shines though me Shattering into smaller and smaller pieces, more and more and more.

The Lake
I touch my face to make sure I’m Still there Smoke a cigarette Drink a whiskey Take myself home But I can’t find peace anywhere. In the room with you I just want to run It’s myself that scares me In the room with you I want to run It’s my own stupid self that scares me. I will keep swimming until my skin disintegrates And I crumble like ground up glass on the ocean floor Shattering with color when the sun shines though me Shattering into smaller and smaller pieces, more and more and more.
