Chasing the sun that doesn’t want to be found
Feeling the weight of the world
But not making a sound

How can I dream when my thoughts are fleeting
Running away from the cold and blind truth
I can barely feel my heart beating
But I can feel the life swimming within you

What could be yours isn’t mine
But I can’t swallow another moment without you
Because living on takes so much time
Breathing is the hardest thing to do

I silently beg for the resuscitation of my soul
All I really want is to be whole

Recalling all of the ways I’ve been mislead
All while drowning in my panic
The light is fading and I’m left for dead
As I’m being suffocated by the static

I can’t let the words be known
Though I’m screaming on the inside
I’ll lock myself away all alone
Watching as this life passes me by

I know I’m not enough
To make the things I want stay
And I never truly know if I’m needed here
When it feels like I’m falling far away

So don’t let me speak my truth
I can’t bear the silence that’s to come
The truth is my fate lies in your hands
And I’m one step away from coming undone

xoxo,
