lyrics

Now that all I want is what I’ve always had. I’m struggling to let you all go. I awaken here, at the edge of it all, with the current dragging at my feet. Here the waves no longer crash upon the shore. There’s nothing left to cling to, but I cling to nothing all the same. The dead sun soaks the skin on my back, but nothing here brightens me. Wash, wash over me. Now lost, I count the waves. Their coolness touches me, but I cannot be saved. Falling so silent in the tide that the air hangs still in my lungs as I sweat under a selfish sky. Rubbing the backs of these fists, clenched white onto all that I cannot hold. I only remember what’s left to let go. Floating here on the skin of an ocean. I lay here paralysed, the vessel that cannot fly. Still calling out to no one, still tilting towards the skies. “Now I am the past, so please let me pass. Just let me go. Take my last breath as i slip away”. Storms reveal a calm. Both hands release a fist. You and I and you and I. Heavy, hollow. heartache, rest.
