Hooked up & sucked dry
And yes it pried my eyes open wide
But I couldn't make room for the fear inside
I shut down
I went numb
Tried to escape but I couldn't outrun
Stressed my head until it broke
The days slipped through my fingers like smoke
It's a lesson that I won't forget
You haven't seen the last of me yet
Sometimes I wish I'd been a fisherman: patient eyes and callused hands
Move with the sea & hold the line
Sitting still isn't wasting time
And guess what?
I'm (apparently) not too young to die
