I'm not fine

can't say my piece I need time

hand break release the gears grind

like I can't unmake the mould that's inside

tangled thoughts are caught on each side when I try separate the code I live by from the roles I chose to help me survive

helped you and I

keep peace of mind

hold me closer

tear me up again

twisted paper

thank me later

pull me under

you're my oxygen

let me breathe

let me

Wait

you've got salt in your heart

gravel in the socks won't stop if you stray from the path

clay hands built for the craft

made plans beautifully laid so our gods get a laugh

so hold me closer and take my breath

hold my ankles down while i stretch

keep me grounded right till my death

if you let me go I won't come down

oh and I know I'll find it

it's all timing

steady I steady Im climbing

I don't mind it

give it a moment you'll find it

not gold just guidance

lord knows we're trying

lord knows we're trying

oh and I know I'll find it

it's all timing

steady I steady Im climbing

I don't mind it

give it a moment you'll find it

not gold just guidance

lord knows we're trying

lord knows we're trying

where did you leave your heart

why'd you forget it in the first place

I took space and you took me apart

we were doomed from the start if we never learnt to show face

well I showed my heart on each sleeve

stayed up beside you no sleep

don't phone me now it's not deep

wait there Imma hold it down with such ease

don't rush me gurl it takes time

don't ask you know i'm not fine

you can read between the slick lines

the things are thick signs are posted each mile

Im mildly estranged it's weird this new phase

manners on text a friendly exchange

mad about x and y and z thang

it's feelings in waves

Im tryna be brave

oh and I know I'll find it

it's all timing

steady I steady Im climbing

I don't mind it

give it a moment you'll find it

not gold just guidance

lord knows we're trying

lord knows we're trying

oh and I know I'll find it

it's all timing

steady I steady Im climbing

I don't mind it

give it a moment you'll find it

not gold just guidance

lord knows we're trying

lord knows we're trying

hold me closer

tear me up again

twisted paper

thank me later

pull me under

you're my oxygen

let me breathe

let me
