Why Worry About The Sinking Ship If You Can Swim?

Smoke ribbons whisp
Like strings right through me knives
Water falling out of my eyes
I said I'd hold this for you
I must be a fool for
You had a nametag that said Atlas
I must have been high
Now I'm at the bottom
Holding onto the world
Crushing my shoulders
Just a little more nicotien
Just a little more love for me
My head is heavy
My eyes stay closed
I roll and roll around these sheets like space
Wondering if maybe I could affect fate
I am not perfect
But I know how to do everything right
I suck at games like chess
But here is the checkmate
Fall back like glass
Shatter at the spinal chord
Feel my skull dettache
The sunlight flows through the holes in my head
I watch the broken bones drift away
Out to sea
The stars are fishes
Out to steal me
Taste the salt I breathe
Am I dreaming
Nightmares never happen to me
Am I bleeding
Physical pain is so easy
Adrenaline and anxiety
Let the crimson flow
Float away until I am free
Wake up and hope for life to be
Something I can understand
I'm just confused and lost in this land
But I can be better than a grain of sand
I can believe
Even if I don't want to stand
I can read between the lines
I just need my glasses on
I can hope and try to fly
Little needle in the hay
I swear I can find you
Wade through the mystery and misery
This is life so strange reality
