What We Know Is A Drop, What We Don't Know Is An Ocean

I’ve got you in my grips, you’re slipping oh, so quick. This is where I begin to gain control. You grasp with fingertips and I will enter in. This is where it all goes wrong. Cold hands, cold hands. You will never win. My noose tightens. This will be over with. Don’t you speak a word. They can’t hear you. And I’ll become your sweetest friend, you will lose your innocence. I’ll become the depths of you. i’ll be all you ever know. Come let me show you my plans. let me explain my tricks. I’ve got your life mapped out it sits in the palm of my hand. And you will dance to my beat. It’s the only rhythm to grace your feet. This is the end. Here’s where I break you down. You can’t be the same. I’ve consumed you. this is the end. this is the end. Here’s where I break you down. And as you hit ground, I’ll smile from ear to ear. I’ve collected another victim, my work is done here. And as you lay in the dirt, your body numb to how it feels. I’ll be all that you want. I’ll be all that is real. I’ll be your everything. So as it falls apart. no choice but to move on. I’ll be all that is left. my warmth is pumping through your veins. Now as your lungs collapse and dust is all that’s left. my face your final thought. I am your last.

you fell away with the distance. you drift away with the breeze. i felt you in the wind. now i’m alone again. i felt a part of me die. the day you slipped my mind. but how can i feel so strong, when i dont understand? with a face so familiar. a demeanor i can’t figure out. and now all these thoughts of you are raging in my head. there’s a ghost in this town, we dance together every night. and now i’ve taken this too far. you drowned out the voice inside. i didn’t know i could be numb. i just wanted to feel alive. but know he’s got me on a string and i’m holding on too tight. I breathe you in, I breathe you out. i used to feel you in the wind. your voice echoes in the breeze. but now the air feels so hollow. our hearts don’t beat at the same time. your rhythm used to match mine. the music drifted with the tide. wake up. i died to myself that day. i feeling i don’t wanna slip away. and without you then who am i? do i have to understand the reason why?

I don’t know what’s inside anymore. Feels like I’m just going numb. A life mapped out in circles and patterns. Is this what it all becomes? Punch in, punch out, punch in, break down again. Are we dancing in line, do our feet stay in time? Think inside of the box, this is called growing up. And its all that we have. Cause it’s all that we know. We fight, we fight to stay alive. We let our dreams stay dreams, and our hope just dies. We’re all just rhythms and patterns, circles and queues. It’ll all be so perfect just follow the rules. Keep on climbing the ladder. why not just burn yourself out? It’ll all be so worth it are you happy now? Well, I guess you got just what you wanted, were all working to survive.Well, I guess you got just what you wanted, we will work until we die. Won’t you bury me? won’t you bury us? We will work till the day that we die. We will we will we will die. Just swallow your dreams and take them the grave. Just bury me.

If i’m being honest, I made a mess here of myself. now in this mirror stares back my truth. A picture painted black, my canvas torn along the seams. a hundred puzzle pieces that fit perfectly in place. i set myself up for this. they line themselves out one by one. betrayed myself with this kiss. my haunting disaster. and i will try to map it out. i wash my hands here in the stream. and as i dug my own grave. now here i lay. I tried to escape but i could never get away. i tried to close my eyes but home was still in front of me. i tried a million roads. they always led the same way. i’ll take my own path. i’ll do this on my own. I built my own destruction. now watch me as I burn. The victim and the villian. I’ll tear my whole world down. Just watch me burn to the ground. i’ll tear myself down. i asked you to release me. you never did lose your grip. you knew much better than me. That i needed this. my god. oh my god. i found another path. thought it would take me home. now standing at the edge. well, i regret it all.
