Ain’t nothing about you, you thought those were words for you.
Ain’t nothing about you cos you’re not known and you’re forgotten.
Ain’t nothing about you cos your soul isn’t easily seen.

You’re a part of you, you’re a part of me.

Yea I loved you, even when you fell out of love with the World.
When I saw you smile and your lips sing to me from the distant past,

I laughed.
You didn’t even know me.

Could I go back in time?
And take my words back?
Could I go back in time?
To give my life back
To the empty shell
With the Death Stare?

I saw the cliff but decided
To turn back.

I wanted to return to the
Ocean that brought me here
But She said I couldn’t go back.

“Child, you’ve lived everywhere
From this Sea to another
This land knows you
Don’t ignore that. “

My lungs could fill with smoke
Or water
Just to prove:
I did that.
I loved every second of that.
I couldn’t let it go
I could only face the me
Who could see
I was more than what
You made me out to be.

Now I know that to love
Is not to hate every bit of myself
Neglected, restricted, unprotected
I tried I tried I tried
To leave it all behind.

I tried to see
I meant something more than how
You treated me.

Now I do not cry
I laugh
Then the blank stare comes back
The things I’ve done to kill
What almost killed me
Stares right back.

Now the fingers that touch my heart
Love every bit of me
And I laugh
Smile and sing
Everything I wanted about love
Has granted me
My life again
Of course
I’ll always be back.
(In the mind of the eyes
Who
Wanted every bit of me.)
