Black as night
Like my souls not right
My chest feels so tight
And I can't find the light

To cling to when I'm lonely
I'm calling out, won't someone hold me?
I'm reaching out, can't somebody see?
That I'm drowning and can't breathe

I can't see it but I know I'm surrounded
I can hear the waves lapping against my shore
I can smell the salt of the ocean
And taste it on my tongue, but I want more

It's poison
It's suffocating
It's deadly
It's sweet

It's a killer

Taking away my breath
That's okay
I'm okay

You don't believe me do you?
You know a lie once it leaves my lips
I speak the words of truth
Until it comes to my feelings

I deny and dismiss
Say I'm doing just fine
Throw caution to the wind
And I fly off a cliff just in time

To avoid your stares
And questions
And queries
I'm in no mood to talk
Just listen to my heart beat

Beat...beat...beat........
