up and down the coast for days
the days turn into years
don't know how long I stayed
searching for the place
where inspiration takes control
and I can feel it in my bones
I need the masterpiece in my mind
to come to life
(all on my own)
with this fragile mind and shaking hands
(I should have known)
that the tide would always come for me
because it always does
always caught off guard
I find myself
neck deep in the sand
water rushing in again
then the undertow grabs me by the throat
screaming and scolding me
with such a disappointed tone
this cues the waves
to silences my cries
this where I die
again
then I wake alone in my bed
familiar echoes of this dream in my head
and I swore that today I'd make the change
but anxiety; he'd already sunk his teeth into my veins
and I feel it seeping deeper every day;
poison every single word I say
I guess that I would always be this way
I was such a fool to think I'd ever be okay
