Staring at the shadows on the roof above my bed
A filtered view of breaking light as troubles fill my head

You are the one that constantly plays with my thoughts
Unintentional, but with a purpose, so pure

Hands tied up, ankles and bows
Slowly slipping down to the depths below
But one thing’s for certain, I’ve seen this before
How much should I struggle if this is what I live for?

Even with the ever changing weather
the storm cannot kill what has been so true.
The tide is something that comes and goes.
But it is here and now that I stay afloat
as I hold onto the closest thing to me.

I’m cold.
I’m alone.
But the warmth you keep is enough to bring me home.

Haven’t had a day like this in a while. Life tends to catch up to me and punch me in the stomach at the worst times. It seems that this is one thing that won’t ever fully disappear.

I get ahead of myself.

Move forward,
move forward with with my words
Rest easy,
rest easy, be assured
I’ll always,
I’ll always have a hole
In my heart,
where you used to lay your head

You used to lay in my bed

I’m older,
I’m older than your soul
Sent searching,
an explorer meant to make his way home

Your ghost seems to stray a little farther from home
and I watch as it dances over oceans of hope
The haze and the fog has since lifted its veil
and the timid, lonely captain, can finally set sail

A vessel at sea, some thousand leagues left to shore
And long behind a faint outline of treasure and lore
So tight was the grip that his knuckles went white
Focused eyes on the compass that points north this night

So I think it’s been a while since I’ve smiled this much.

In this light I look and feel darker
My thoughts are slow and aren’t any brighter
A whisper here and there could take me home
Defeat the ghosts that shake these bones

I think I’ve actually fallen in love with someone’s smile.

I feel like I leave behind a piece of myself with every place I visit.

I continue to descend into the depths
The cost of a breath is worth more than what’s left

Leave my mind alone.
