what if i jumped?
if i swam into the sun
who could save me then?
i could live under the sea

loneliness behold
the desperate grip on my neck
the enormous weight on my chest
a breath is no longer in sight

recognition is beyond incomprehensible
my skin is wrapped much too tight
escape is a concept
i am nothing without my nothing

living fearfully, sinking down under
i'm not sure that anyone can see me
my heart pounds on my chest
someone please let it out

wrapping my fingers around my thumb
tell me my ideas are dumb
take away my inhibitions
for i can not shake free myself

free me from these thoughts
someone is inside my head
telling me i should be dead
telling me to let out the red
