There's a silence in this solitude. Yet a calamity in the violent storm that is my thoughts A violent riptide drowning me under the weight of the imagined pressure on my chest Breathless I'm falling into a rabbit hole that is the mind The thoughts are killing me Black and white pictures memories that only I recall Talks that I have yet to have People that I love Those that I don't Those that I desire Those that I won't My thoughts are an endless ocean And I'm a shipwrecked sailor Swallowing too much salt water For these veins to keep pumping blood And this heart to keep a steady rhythm.

Slow Drownings
There's a silence in this solitude. Yet a calamity in the violent storm that is my thoughts A violent riptide drowning me under the weight of the imagined pressure on my chest Breathless I'm falling into a rabbit hole that is the mind The thoughts are killing me Black and white pictures memories that only I recall Talks that I have yet to have People that I love Those that I don't Those that I desire Those that I won't My thoughts are an endless ocean And I'm a shipwrecked sailor Swallowing too much salt water For these veins to keep pumping blood And this heart to keep a steady rhythm.
