Just as you're pulling me in,
Making it seem like everything is ok,
You spit me back out,
Like you're gargling water.

Water. We used to be like the gentle sea,
Your calm manner lulling me to sleep,
Making me believe I was important for once,
You actually paid attention.

Attention is all you give her now,
Blinded by love,
Binded by your guilt,
You've pushed everyone away.

Away is where you want to be,
From all the guilt, annoyance, pain,
Away from the person you were once,
Away from me, until you come back again.

I care too much, I know I do,
Love has no mercy, it just gnaws at you,
I fall while you climb the tower,
And the saddest thing is you hold the key like a king.

Like a puppeteer you dance me,
Thick strings tightening my skin,
You don't know what you want,
But I know what I want and I don't like it at all.

All I have is my head,
For my heart is long gone,
They keep telling me to let go; set you free,
Get over that aching feeling whenever I see you.

You need to release me,
From my feelings that produce pure pain,
Leave the anchor afloat in the sea,
Let it slowly drift away from the ship; let it be at peace.

Peaceful mind is what you never had,
Always conjuring up ideas and arguments,
Never at rest,
And it will **** you when you sleep.

Sleep was stolen from me,
Like caffeine in coffee keeping me awake,
Making me drown in the depths of the black liquid,
Looking forward to insomnia became the death of me.

I've come to the realization that you're a beautiful beast,
Imprisoned by your imagination. By your deceit.
When will I be released?
