Everything I’ll Ever Need

Sometimes I feel like I’m a stranger to myself

Walk past a mirror and think I’m someone else

Not sure just who I am without you anymore

But that’s alright, still ain’t opened every door

Stuck in your fishbowl where I swam so aimlessly

One streamlined vision with a goldfish memory

One day you threw me back and found another kind

But that’s alright, there’s an ocean in my mind

I got everything I’ll ever need

Couldn’t find the answer when I lost you to the breeze

Why keep waiting on your affection

Love’s inside of me

I’ve got everything I’ll ever need

I sleep with pillows piled around me like a cloud

Pretending that they’re you has never made me proud

Maybe it’s just a phase

I fold my hands and pray for better days

These things I see when I sit staring at the walls

I’m watching epic costume drama scenes unfold

Maybe I’ve lost my mind

But there’s no black or white

Gradations undefined

Why’s the light so bright when love is blind?

I pronounce the breaking of the spell

Nothing gets you down

Nothing kills you softly like yourself
