Emotional coming out
I did a lot this year so far
Alex says it's all growth
This arc for my role
could not have been foretold

Every day closer to the flame
Getting burnt for fun
My heart? It lies in my mouth
So I spit sweet blood
It's a blessing and a curse
specially behind closed doors
that allowed me to go far

The first time I lost my mind
the first time I did something alone
was because I had no one!
Toxic knots that I weaved on my own...
Collective opus - these toxic knots

Is my destiny to break down in pieces?
No, but I live for bleeding
It's such a thick wall to keep on living
You helped me become myself
but every sweet bite from the cake
I earned
I have a lot of thankfulness, even love for you,
but no connection that's true

I am a tortured artist! I am everything you hate!
You are everything standing in my way!
Yet...
We untie these toxic knots with everyday's deeds
so let's keep rolling like the sea

Let me be! Let me be!
Alex is my boyfriend.
