Riptide

I couldve lied

The truth a needle in your eye

The wound a band-aid won't heal

But I persist

And try to tell it

Like it is

what's the point if were not real?

Riptide sweeps me out to drown

Flailing arms and aching chest the more

I struggle,the more it wears me down

how long can I hold my breath?

Another test

you used to say I was the best so

Proud to walk by my side

now you see everything that's wrong with me

can you accept it

will you try?

rolling

Choking

still I'm kicking

Driftig farther out to sea

I won't let go of

My dim hopes somehow

you'll make it out to me
