Swallowed/Sold

Breath me in, just swallow me whole

consume my life and possess my soul

Keeping quiet, my grounded feet

Cant sweep away, when all's kept neat

I saw you smile and I saw you cry

everytime you would just want to lay down and die

I reached out my hand and you held on tight

I tried to pull you up with all my might

Those words became hollow, your face was still fading

Walking away because I've been feeling so jaded

I cant take a day without you, and I cant sleep at night

everything feels so wrong when you try to make it right

Ive been diving into shallow water since the day you called my name

I've been drowning in my heart beat without a drain

I've been pacing my room in circles, conversations in my head

Never thought I'd have a reason to doubt anything you said

I've desensitized my feelings, cause my everything is you

and I tried to stay away but you're the driver, I'm just the screw

You have purpose, you have meaning, I hold the foundation

Hang me up to dry, I will wait in anticipation

I'm not leaving, I'm not gone, and I will never walk away

I just need to find a reason that you would need me to stay

But I'll keep living, I'll keep breathing, 

I'll still be here, if you keep dreaming

I am sorry I can't help you, when it's what you want the most

Just remember, you keep living and your body's just the host

The most beautiful being, I've yet to see 

and may your word always be true to me

The sun here is shining, dissipating the cold

One look in my eyes, and I was already sold.
