Whirlpools

Standing on the highway
did I make you turn around?
I can’t see you
I will go my own way
with a backpack and a smile
I can’t breathe through
You will find me overnight
laying down, you say “hi, I’m home”
give me a reason why you weren’t here tonight
why is it that it feels like there’s no time to think yet all is motionless to me? reluctantly trying to cope with having no energy
reality is all a lie
people look okay but their soul is dry 
you can’t even look at them in the eye 
and I tried
all they do is deny
they’re blind 
I live in my fantasies
will you come here and stay with me?
when will I learn how to turn off the unbearable flow of my thoughts? 
I’m trapped, I’m trapped
I rise and fall in your whirlpools
oh will I disappear? 
maybe one day someone will see me
why is it that it feels like there’s no time to think yet all is motionless to me? reluctantly trying to cope with having no energy
reality is all a lie
people look okay but their soul is dry 
you can’t even look at them in the eye 
and I tried
all they do is deny 
they’re blind
I live in my fantasies
will you come here and stay with me?
come over here
there’s nothing to understand 
embrace my hand
but do it gently
standing on the highway 
did I make you turn around? 
I can’t see you
