Behind My Eyes.

cast out at sea.

the nightmares are back, yet again.

the villain is different this time.

instead of seeing he who shall not be named,

it's you.

the other night i dreamt that i was cast out to sea during a typhoon.

i knew it was you who'd left me to die at sea.

i think that's the best metaphor i could've asked for.

everything in my life had hit the fan at once.

i'd never been lower in my life and yet in the midst of all of it you decided that was the best time for you to bow out of my life.

you left me to die in the middle of the ocean,

you left me to fend for myself after everything we'd been through.

i talked you down from so many cliffs that you were standing on, i helped you through hell and brought you back, but when i'm asking for the same thing i get abandoned?

i never imagined that you out of all the people in my life would be the one to leave me.

i got pulled under by the current and i was screaming for you, why can't you hear me?

the water filled my lungs and everything was turning black.

i never thought i'd see the sun again.

then i woke up and realized i wasn't drowning.

i feel free now.

i learned to live without you. i still miss you but i know i don't need you.

i'm a tough swimmer now.
