Independent Mind

Movie

Written on 6/17/20

(A song about the worst night of my life)

Nailed to the floor right now
Where's the screwdriver?
I'm here
I don't know how
Wish I'd stop thinking about her

Someone tried to drown me
They say it wasn't intentional
Either way I'm still breathing
They said I had potential

You just told me what you knew I wanted to hear
So you could take advantage
I ran before it went too far
But you cut me deep
Now I'm in constant need of a bandage

I was barefoot
Straight out of a movie
Running through the night
I was chasing the light
Felt like a bolder was on me chest
And I couldn't catch my breathe
And the tears were never ending
I got wasted for good reason
My eyes stayed pealed open for hours from fear of sleep
I knew if I dreamed
I see you in my nightmares
You'll forever be my nightmare

I sail the dark sea right now
Pulling all nighters
Stuck here
With no way out
Wish I'd stop thinking about him and her

Someone was drowning me
I don't give a fuck if it wasn't intentional
I'm still struggling to breathe
You're right
I do have potential

I came out on a Saturday
And I moved somewhere I thought was safe that same day
And it was on a Sunday when you scarred me
I guess you'd call that the climax of this story
