lyrics

This isn't what I wanted this to be
It's so impossibly
hard to be just who I thought i'd be
cuz' every time I finally
get to where I wanna be
I'm over me
I'm over me
It's hard to be just who I thought i'd be
cuz' every time i finally
get to where I wanna be
I'm over me

Like water slowly seeping between the cracks of fingers, most of me is wasted
and I hate it but maybe just this once I could actually fucking finish something instead of wasting all my breath and in the end, just giving up.

like a castaway on a raft, scratching and scribbling the last
of his so called sanity away on a scrap, he stuffs it down into a glass
bottle then throws it as he laughs,
like the oceans going to save him from it's unforgiving grasp

I don't wanna be him
but I'm floating out to sea
I don't wanna be him
but it's too late for me

Oh! Please don't look for me my dear
It is dark out here, it is dark out here
my lungs have been filling up for years
I am drowning here, I am drowning here

Oh! Please don't follow me my dear
I don't know what i'd do I don't know what I'd do
if the freezing water swallowed you
like it's swallowing me
like it's swallowing me

I'll never forget that day, I was walking along the beach at the coast
watching the waves, slowly roll in, swelling as they came closer
collapsing in on themselves in a display of crashing white, salty mist and spray

and there in the receding wake, lay a bottle, inside it a piece of parchment, old and stained. I gazed around to see if i was alone there, as if the presence of that bottled message was some kind of secret I didn't want to share

it was my moment and mine alone, and so I pulled the cork from the bottle and took out the note and there in the centre
in tiny, desperate, scrawling letters was written but one word: hope.
