You
You’re my sober wave in a sea of rage
You waited there; you saw my cage
But every night I drifted away
I ran from pain but you made me stay
How could I find a further place?
A distant shore with a demons face
I hated you for showing me love
Cause chaos fits me like a glove
You reached for me through burning steam
The vapor filled my empty dreams
Still, you were there to watch me fall
I hid my shame behind a wall
I shut the door and windows too
I bled my heart and pierced it through
Cause that’s the way love was before
Your steady hands could show me more
The aftermath left me on the ground
My lifeless cry never made a sound
Still you were there; i dont know why
My beauty lies in your California eyes
You shine so bright in the dark of night
Forgiving me for senseless plights
You cried with me when I was lost
So now the pain is worth the cost
I’m setting sail on a homemade raft
Please find me where you hear my laugh
I’ll fight the crashing waves of war
Just know this means i’m wanting more
I love the way you make me feel
You’re beautiful; you help me heal
I’ll never lose my northern lights
Its where you are in hopeless nights
