treading water with two anchors on my ankles while the plankton laugh hysterically at how my body dangles towards the surface i m not going anywhere for a while losing oxygen i reach for you to save me but you re caught up on the shore with everyone else misbehaving so let me drown but i would still give you everything left in my lungs if i could why do i do this i ll never know my head moves too fast to ever slow have you ever loved someone but not known them at all so far away but still you feel your souls are intertwining does this even matter why is your heart so inviting who am i to even think that you would have me if you saw me in the street would you stop or would you pass me it s hard to tell well i ve walked this block six times and worn holes in my shoes and there s still no sign of you did you ever fall asleep or did you lay awake it s two a m and there s no one else i d rather have beside me thoughts like this could kill a man every night for the past six years now
