there’s a silence
you will never hear
i’m sinking
and drowning
in waves of endless fear
beyond the mask
of this raging storm
my every memory
is lost and reborn
you’re hoping to find
what you need
you’re trying to breathe
you’re trying to feel
but the sea takes
everything from you
it swallows you whole
and you’re trying to
grab onto a rope
you want to see
a chance to live
a chance to be
that person
who survived
just someone
who survived
this feeling you long for
your compass
is somewhere below
the surface cuts
two worlds atwain
their ship sails away
and the tide rages on
the coast is in sight
and the ocean
is calming down
but still you’re afraid to let go
you want to drown
you want this storm
your rope is pulling you down
and the struggle is over
there’s no need
for a new beginning
drowning was the only way out
this was your last gasp for air
this was your last chance
and the waves
will carry away
my soul and the fear
i held so close
the weight of the water
has set me free

these flowers growing into nothing
my heart - their soil
my mind - their grave
colours for the world to see
shallow roots are killing me
everything is beautiful
everything is falling apart
you're digging deep to find the truth
empty graves awaiting you
staring at these weathered walls
just to find my aching soul
waiting for the day to come
waiting for its time to pass
knowing nothing will be there
outside this empty shell
