Constellations

Holding our emotions inside can be difficult, especially when we are caught in a swirling sea. As the storm of life tosses us we run out of time to tell our tales and speak our piece. It can feel like an ocean of emotion is caught in our lungs as we sink deeper into the brine.
Constellations
This vaporwave seduction swims
In echoes of what could have been
Distortions of reality
Through a looking glass so vividly
So softly succumbing
Beneath waves of anxiety
Pull me into the light
Cause I've only started to speak
The oceans in these lungs are angry
So hear me out above this storm
I know the depths we delve are scary
But the frightening thing is we are alone
Kiss me right between the eyes
My head is wrong between these ears
Make this bed for you and I
And let me dry those tears
I can't tell where I'm aiming but I know
I'm on to something now
Pull me into the fire
Because I'm only starting to spark
Setting sail for rocky shores
I'm broken once again
Against these memories that start to age
As poorly as I am
This is the calmest I've ever been
Eye of the storm, moment of zen
This is the breath I'm holding in
Just tell me to demolish this
This love I bury in the dust
Fossilized gears twisted broken off
Wake me up when you're ready to go
Cause I'm fucking lost in the undertow
Head bashed beneath these storms
Taking every breath in these heathen lungs
Worn beneath the erosion of love
But reborn in this constant interference
I can't tell where I'm hurt
But I know your worth
Counting these constellations
And I'm starting to bleed out
And the ocean in these lungs
Just wishes you were loved
I've got nothing left to lose
Just show me the path you choose
This liminal place
Tracking error absorption
Absolution and grace
I've already chosen
