You are here.
But my gaze is a million miles away.
The room is silent.
But you look at me so loudly
I can practically hear you screaming
For me to stay .
The water is rising .
threatening to cross the brim to my cheek
But I keep the flood at bay.
Watching ships sail .
The farther they get the slower my heart.
I can't live this way.

You are here.
But my gaze is a million miles away.
The room is silent.
But you look at me so loudly
I can practically hear you screaming
For me to stay .
The water is rising .
threatening to cross the brim to my cheek
But I keep the flood at bay.
Watching ships sail .
The farther they get the slower my heart.
I can't live this way.
I'll never come back
