Just Keep Swimming
Feels like I'm locked inside myself
Screaming inside this vessel
Eyes full of petechia from the asphyxiation of my tears
Thrashing around with lunacy
Heels bleeding from the tantrum stomps
Buried deep inside this vessel
Frantically paddling on the inside
Just another day on the out
Must'nt let them see
They'll ask too many questions
Maintain the image
Keep your poise
Don't be a burden
A broken Victrola
Or maybe I'm locked out of myself
Screaming at this vessel
Eyes covered with rose colored lenses
Thrashing around for a connection
To myself
Who I once was
Heels dug in the ground preventing further progression
Estranged so far from this vessel
Frantically reeling myself back in
Just another day on the out
I wish they could see
I'll need answers to their questions
Maintain the image
Keep your poise
Don't be a burden
A broken Victrola
