waking up to the sound of rain

a million pearls

fall down on my face

in my chest you plant the seed

watch the roots begin to spread

if a tree yields no leaves

it sucks the life out instead

it seems like i'm all alone

will i lose my mind?

i'm waiting for something

but nothing comes

lost again

can't find my way

i'll give it up

if it means you'll stay

my mind is always sinking

will I ever take a breath?

i've given you everything i can

so tell me, what is left?

it seems like i'm all alone

will i lose my mind?

i'm waiting for something

but nothing comes

they want to turn me into

something that they can use

they tell me what i need to

fulfill a life they choose

but i don't want to be alone

and i can't

just stand and watch

as i turn into something

i don't even recognize
