all alone in a dusk
the waves tug at me
pull me into the deep
this was never a home
the days turn to dark
I am drowning in sorrow
I was born to live alone
I am free, I am young
and my limbs have gone numb
in a river, I float
I am drifting away
from the depths of my sorrow

do you ever hit the ground running?
tearfully laugh at things that aren't funny?
cry until you feel you've been done in?
chase like there's nothing more you've been wanting?
I feel my soul in the weight of my conscience
violently, like it travels on oceans
comes to me like the snow in a cold wind
leaves my heart with intent and devotion
when I find myself freezing to death
I think of how the sun shines in my head
the weightfulness that once lived in my chest
like a tidal wave, it is starting to ebb

Something Working

I was recently told that I deserve to be loved
but I have a feeling that I won't find what I want
the person that I dreamt of holding me last night
he doesn't know, and he seems pretty happy with his life
even when he told me he was planning to leave
I never jumped to thinking there'd be interest in me
the person that I dreamt of wanting me last night
he doesn't know, and I don't want to ruin what we have
though he said there was time before he left
and there's an aching in my chest
I'll never tell, I'll never tell
and though he said there was time for us to spend
my heart is on the mend, so
I'll never tell, I'll never tell
when it's quiet, I notice something working away
at the part of me that feels that I'm deserving of pain
the person that I dreamt of holding me last night
he doesn't know, and he seems pretty happy with his life
a year ago, I'm sure this would have been crippling me
but now I only want the kind of company he brings
the person that I dreamt of wanting me last night
he doesn't know, and I don't want to ruin what we have
though it seems like he's desperate to be free
and when we touch there's energy
he never leaves, he'll never leave
and though it seems like he says just what he means
about becoming what he dreams
he'll never leave, oh, he'll never leave

Creeping

it feels like a perpetrator is crawling down my spine
and smothering some part of me that once was only mine
I don't want this to happen
but you never cared for 'no'
a creeping kind of sickness crawling down my throat
another girl went missing and the panic grows
but they don't want to listen, it's us who have to change
yeah, I want to be a man so I can feel safe
a creeping kind of anxious washes over me
leaves my skin a-tingling with an icy fear
a creeping kind of anxious keeping me awake
leaves my skin a-prickling with a stabbing pain
