Memories Are Jellyfish
They have a child-like glow
Some so foreign you question, "is this real"
Floating past in a pattern, like a show
Disregarding you completely, what is their deal?
If you hold on too tight
They inflict a painful sting
But you always want to go toward the light
I can't let it go, we're attached by a string
Death isn't part of their story
They never quite leave your side
Just let me be
Coming and going just like the tide
Memories are Jellyfish
Deep in this sea called my mind
Don't try to dodge, trust me, they never miss
I don't know how to find
Find a way to make them stop
Stinging until I can't feel
I can feel my body go limp then drop
Into a sea of jellyfish, only this time it's real
My senses get lost in a sea, so sickening, cold
Shivers slowly climb up my back
You can try to hug me but there is nothing to hold
How can something so oddly human be what I lack
This strong pulsing light
I can't think, I can't breathe
Water so deep in my lungs it's too late to fight
Stop grasping so tightly to my sleeve
Religion or law when stuck in this sea
How come my God put me in this abyss
Their lives are all perfect but I am just me
Memories are like jellyfish
