Deep Nausea

This feels like it's too big for words

But it's a part of me

I feel like I need to shut down

I wish I could kill my body

Looking in

I feel so hollow and alone

If I could, I'd put myself

Into a story and find home

Is there no one else alive

Who knows this feeling?

This loneliness

Is going to kill me

Looking in on this

I feel so hollow and alone

If I could, I'd put myself

Into a story and find home

Somewhere under the sky

Of a land that no one knows

It's here, in my mind

But description leaves me cold

There are no words

And the aching doesn't go

It feels like nausea

In my stomach, in my soul

There is no life here

There is no life here

There is no life here

There is no life here

Hold my body still and whisper to me

That it's okay that you see what I'm meant to be

Gently touch my skin and tell me you know

Tell me that you can see that place in our souls

Hold my body still and whisper to me

That it's okay that you see what I'm meant to be

Gently touch my skin and tell me you know

Tell me you can see that place in our souls

Lower your head, speak softly into my hair

Say you understand and that someday we'll go there

Kiss my neck, trace your fingers across my skin

Tell me that you know what I mean

There is no life here so please don't

There is no life here so please don't

If I could go back...

I think about those wasted years

The fear and the envy

I can feel my body buckling more every day

I don't wanna go but I need an exit from here now

I feel the expectations of a person who is assumed

To have gone through what you have

But I haven't
