floods and city lights
rain like fingers on my window
fall asleep tonight
won’t be easy i know
build myself
a wooden boat
try to stay afloat
when my head’s a mess
can hardly get dressed
mind dissolves to grey
my walls fall away
give me
a lifeline to hold onto
give me
somewhere to belong to
when i’m all alone
i turn into a ghost
but when my hope is laid to waste
you’ll find me in my hiding place
you’re a mess a parts
strung out like shrunken hearts
lay them on the ground
cast the broken ones out
give you
a lifeline to hold onto
give you
somewhere to belong to
when i’m all alone
i turn into a ghost
when my hope is laid to waste
you’ll find me in my hiding place
still me when the lights go
down in my head
hold me when the waves crash
over my bed
still me when the lights go
down in my head
hold me when the waves crash
over my bed
even when the wind blows
stay close
anchor me back down
and when the tide comes in
we’ll learn to swim
