Deep Down: a Bottomless Body
Wallow and vacant...
Not at all significant...
Feeling so breathless
I’m feeling oh so worthless
Depthless distress...
I express hopelessness
Swallow this pill of reality
Deep down, a bottomless body
Looked at by everybody
Everyday, weighed down
By an upside down frown
Everyday, weighed down
By an upside down frown
Everyone is silent as a grave
Chatting is even a sign of brave
I’m an introverted extrovert
I’m an extroverted introvert
I’m not confused...
I’m not abused...
I’m not amused...
I’m not bruised...
Say hello to light again, to light again
My heart is not broken
Yet, you deliver me from words left unspoken
You deliver me from words left unspoken
My heart is not broken
Deliver me from words left hurtful again
Deliver me from actions I can’t undo again
My heart is not broken
Say farewell to the darkness of the den
Depression frustrates my soul
Anxiety hates my inner beautiful
Just let it all go
Let it all go
Let it go
Let go
Go
Show me flowers that flourish
Give me what I wish...not this anguish
Not this anguish...anguish...
Anguish is my language...so lost in languish
Just Ignore the nightfall
Weep away my sorrow tears, tears
Hear me as I fall and call
Mend my broken, grief-stricken years
Deep down, a distressed boy
Deep down, an unimpressed toy
Deep down, a bottomless body of lies
Deep down, a hopeless nobody of goodbyes
I’m sorry I’m feeling grief
I just need, need utter relief...
Underneath the rubble and water,
There is the sunshine unlike any other
Sunlit moon...sunlit moon...a bit of a witty moon
Be there with me through the shiny afternoon
The evening and night will be here pretty soon
I wait here so patiently on the dusty, dirty deck of the lazily crazy lagoon
I go down into the ripples of waves
Because it’s hot as hell outside in my mind
I allow my sweaty, hairy body to swim
Swim in the lagoon of my mind’s eye, letting all stresses be left behind
If you can be so kind,
Be here to simply find
My eyes are oh so blind
Me lost and found in the riverbend
These scars right here need a mend
I don’t mean to offend, but I comprehend your empathetic feelings...that, I do comprehend
Deep down,
I noticed..
As I dipped my head into the rivers of woe,
I knew something wasn’t right, I know...
That these waters had crocodiles in a pair of 3
I begged to be set free, I begged to be set free
Possibly, it’s remarkable to be in danger frankly
Because, eventually, I escaped with pride and happiness
Long story short, it felt good,
But I felt guilty and remorseful because
I left behind the lagoon
The depthless, shallow, childlike joyous one a night too soon...
I miss those long, weeping willow tree branches, kissing my bottomless body
Deep down inside (I begin to dry oh so wide)
I was that lagoon too; something in me died...
As well as the creatures of aggressiveness, sending me bewilderment vibes abrew
The lake-like lagoon was shades of blue with the moon of precious rue
