Please listen to me, I know...
You're afraid of what follows.
You're still missing the point,
The metaphor isn't exactly spot on,
But when you're gone,
There's nothing left to stop on,
And I'm always wrong,
But I can't admit it, cause I'm small
Fuck it all before I blow up,
Ticking time bomb
But on the surface I'm calm,
Never one to cause alarm
Or draw attention to emotions I never rely on
I'm a robot, logically I'll answer it all
This mental wall isn't to protect me,
It's for y'all.
Please listen to me, I know...
You're afraid of what follows.
I am the ocean, you are the sky,
there's so much left unsaid between you and I.
And I'm a monster for every lie I spit in your face
For every frigid moment, I relive them, never escape
The hate that I hold in my heart, I can't relate
To anything, I'm a fake waiting for that final day
But what's the point in waiting for the end?
There's nothing I can do to stop it coming
I only hope I'm remembered for something
When our story comes to its closing.
(Still waters run deep.
It takes a lot to get to me.)
And I'm sick of second guessing
Myself every step of the way
I am a frozen ocean
You are a burning sky
Please listen to me, I know...
You're afraid of what follows.
I am the ocean, you are the sky,
there's so much left unsaid between you and I.
