I am a master of goodbyes
Black and whites
Nobody is at fault
Alone
I draw my lines
Define my boundaries
Is this better?
Sober
I can feel it all now
It hurts and crashes into my soul
Empty
I am hollow
The past echoes inside me
A walking heartbreak

Digging deep
Pulling me out of myself
Chipping away the layers
I've been lost and found
Round and round I went
Until in the light of the sinking sun
I saw you glow and felt alive
I'm awake now
I've missed you all along
You are the answer to many wishes upon candles and stars
Patiently I've mastered the fear of saying yes
After wandering and wasting in this world solo
There I suddenly was
At home in your gaze
The victory dance kind of kiss
Swimmingly I floated in the door
Slept soundly with thoughts of you
Lips vibrating
Soul joyous

Flowing in my veins
Your electric smile
Awakens my soul

Hello old soul
The golden light hurts your weary eyes
Familiar but longtime unseen
Leaving that cave of sadness
You recite your fables and
Storybooks of broken hearts
Formulaic and adorned with tattered pages
And nobody wants to hear them anymore
Go on brave wonder
Rewrite your story
Create new glory
Are you dizzy yet?
Circling back around to the start
Press play instead of restart
Use the extra life that you have

“Who am I?”
I always ask myself.
And whenever I do
Countless of flashbacks races before my eyes
Telling me that I am this and I am that
Making me feel uncomfortable on my own skin
Confusing me

“Who are you?”
I ask again
But I don’t really know

"Who are you?"
For the third time I ask myself
And I remember how I used to be
Acting differently between people I meet

And for the last time
“Who are you?” I ask
Still, flashbacks
The memories of me being innocent
Memories of me being a monster
And I ask myself again

"Who am I?"
