shallow

I wish I could be so irretrievably lost in your tides

Don't ever perceive me, I'm just a tear slipping out of your eye

Once again, I'm falling into the shadows

No one sees I'm drowning, stuck in the shallows

With the world just out of reach

Still caught between

Everything that felt to me like it could be home

And no one will ever know

Pallor so pristine

Visions of unbreathing me

Flicker like bugs in my eyes

Clawing like hell for my life

I dont want this for me

I want to stay where its green and its bright

Wrench me from infinite night

Refracted lights

Blink out of sight

These weak fins can't pull empty lungs

Once again, I'm falling into the shadows

No one sees I'm drowning, stuck in the shallows

With the world just out of reach

Still caught between

Everything that felt to me like it could be home

And no one will ever know

Save me
