Kept Me Grounded

I miss those hills by the shore
They kept me grounded kept me insecure
I would get lost for a while
I'd hold my breath until you replied
Found something I don't know how to hold
Found something I know I can't control
Found something I know I can't control
Lose my breath
I know
I miss those hills by the park
I'd sit with L hang around til dark
They'd call on me I'd oblige
I'd hold my breath the entire ride
I know
I know
Found something I know I can't control

The only thing I knew was how to impose
The only thing I knew was how to indulge
I waste my breath
I'd lose my mind
I searched for you through space and time
The only thing I knew was how to impose
The only thing I knew was how to indulge
Felt how you feel
Running away from me
Knelt to a past self
I once knew
To a past self
I once knew

I feel so far away
So far removed so out of place
The notes you wrote started to fray
I balled them up threw them away
I've made mistakes
I won't get better
Callused hands rest on my face
I try with mine but it's not quite the same
You provide a touch i can't quite place
When those memories start to fade
I won't feel safe
I won't get better

Days seem half full without you
I've tried to picture your room
Who's there? What new piece completes you?
New flowers on the table in bloom
I studied pictures of you
I know the paint on that wall
That's who you hang with these days?
Why you ignore all my calls?

I think I saw you in another dream
You and your friends were standing next to me
I had to close my eyes
Tried not to think about it
I think I saw you right in front of me
I got choked up and then I couldn't speak
I had to close my eyes
Tried not to think about it
I'm on a Hopkins train
I pass your house every day
I have to close my eyes
Can't help but think about it

Usually I'd Run

With such disdain
You speak of the weak
I can't help but think
That's what you think of me
I had your love
But only a days supply
You'd drift away
And I'd chase behind
And usually I'd run but there's no time
And no place to hide

I jot it down as an ode to you
But you’ll never learn the words
After all I’m a stranger to you
And how could you have heard
Look at these trials I’m in
How far I been
In that room
Waiting for you
Lately I’ve been living in a daze
Finding an excuse for my behavior
There’s record but the pages gone to fray
I don’t know what’s in my heart lately
Running through a liminal space
Feeling like my demons tryna’ race me
Side by side
There’s no chase
Like they know
What’s on the other side
