Tidal Wave

You're a tidal wave,
and you're crushing me.
Pulling me out to the sea.
And while I sleep
in your wake,
you're waters are suffocating me.

Please let me breathe.

I'll hold on to your ropes
and lies.
Your killer tides.

I sleep on the shore line,
waiting for another wave to come
rolling in.

But I can't bring myself to close my eyes,
you're so alive,
and I'm begging you to let me breathe.

I sleep on the shore line,
waiting for another wave to come
crashing in, over my skin.

I am but a pebble thrown in your wake.
I can't sleep.

You're a tidal wave,
and you're crushing me.
Pulling me out to see
the undertow
of what all I've known,
trying it's damnedest to kill me.
