You and I

Need to call out for help

Cause we’ve wandered too far out to sea

I'm alright

I keep telling myself

But I'm finding it hard to believe

I try to wait it out, wait it out

But you’re down in the lungs

And it’s harder to breathe

I’ll never make it out, make it out

With all the terrible questions

You’re throwing at me

Dear self

You are the heaviness in my chest

Dear self

You are the weariness in my breath

For all the times you took control

And all the years of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go

Dear self

It is I

That‘s been holding me down

But I'm finally able to see

I'm alright

There may be scars on the chest

But it’s holding a heart with a beat

I try to wait it out, wait it out

But you’re down in the lungs

And it’s harder to breathe

I’ll never make it out, make it out

With all the terrible questions

You’re throwing at me

Dear self

You are the heaviness in my chest

Dear self

You are the weariness in my breath

For all the times you took control

And all the years of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go

Now I'm finally falling

Into the waves of the unknown

I’ve left you far behind me

For the grace I now call home

Find me finally falling

This place is now my home

Dear self

You are the heaviness in my chest

Dear self

You are the weariness in my breath

For all the times you took control

And all the years of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go

Dear self (you’re gone)

For all the times you took control

And all the years of mine you stole

The day has come to let you go
