I hope that you’re the inspiration
To these words that caress my thoughts
Lost to an endless sea
Of what I wish I could say

Maybe we just weren’t enough
Sitting at our favorite diner
Melted shakes
Thunder clouds chasing our sins
We looked so different now
Than what we use to be
And at the time there was no one else
Figuring I’d be a mess by myself
I feared the rain falling down
I asked “Wanna talk about it?”
You replied “The rain looks really pretty.”
And, I knew when the sun came out
Our time would be up
And, you still believe everything is meant to be
So, we learn to let go just to be free

So, there we were
Lost somewhere in where we wanted to be
And, where we seemed to be
Drowning in everything inbetween
Looking somewhere deep in my dreams
And societies lies are getting to me
For all we’ve ever craved is to be free
Daydreamers searching for destinies
While my sins are catching up to me
Thinking of memories
We’ll get to bring to life
Throwing away all the locks and keys

There’s this voice inside my head
It sounds just like me
It’s saying let go of some things
For my own
Even the screaming sun can’t block it out
And so, maybe I need a break
From all that I am
All that I was
Take a breath
Breathe again
Find what to write
Instead of dreaming that these words
Might just make it around some big town
I have fears that I’m a letdown
So, I’m reaching out with these words now
Telling my head that you may never be who you want to be
So, just take a breath and breathe

I seem to have always been drawn
To such simple things
How funny...
That she is ever so complicated
As her words dance
Like lullaby strings

I do this for my father
Who I’ve only ever seen from time to time
In my dreams

I do this for my mother
Who’s finally clean
No longer a fiend

I do this for my sister and my brothers
The few that I unknowingly need

I do this for you
To understand
That these things are me

And it wasn’t my intention
That these words would make you feel
Some type of way
But, if that is the result
Then hopefully I’ll be remembered
If even, but only in this moment
