Riptide

I couldve lied

The truth a needle in your eye

The wound a band-aid wont heal

But i persist

And try to tell it

Like it is

Whats 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 thats wrong with me

Can you accept it

Will you try

Rolling

Choking

Still im kicking

Driftig farther out to sea

I wont let go of

My dim hopes somehow

Youll make it out to me
