i'm tired of feeling terrible
   i am done with this drought
i'm scared to leave it locked up inside
   but it'd be awful if i let the lion        out

my heart sunk down
    like a pound of lead in water
and now it's lost in my stomach
     and no one ever caught her
the blue and yellow balloons, i lost,
    that once held me up
and all my oxygen has left
     my lungs, the size of tea cups
and i try to stay strong
      and hold my breath
but i feel the Bubbles float
      out of my chest
and everything i once Believed
      has left out of reach
and while they stand by
      it's Black Tears they weep
i have no anchors holding me down
     but i'm stuck to the bottom of    this ocean
they all stare down
      with their truly false emotions
and no one sends down balloons
       they just hold tight to theirs
and although i'm alone
        i can slowly climb the stairs
Out Of This Ocean
              May They Be Hung
               On Their Balloons
