What the hell am I doing here
Before I swore I'd disappear
The knock outside swallowed me whole
I didn't wait or hope for more
A warmer body brings me heat
The kind I've longed for years to keep
A faux cocoon rots from inside
And buries all the lies I hide
Since I can remember it's all so far
Paris gave me light and gave me scars
Every corner a piece of you
I'd run, I swear, but there's no use
(Your hands a noose
And I tried to break loose)
And me I open up me eyes
In the mornings I bathe in blue and sigh
This map you gave, I hold on tight
It's lines so brusk and faded white
From the other side I return
Claiming freedom, and no more words
After conquering all the and you herd
I took it back - with just an armor of my own
Since I can remember it's all so far
Paris gave me light and gave me scars
Every corner a piece of you
I'd run, I swear, but there's no use
(Your hands a noose
But this time I broke loose)
I thought I threw it all away
Until the rush of waves they swayed and swayed
In the tsunami I create
The everlasting night is how I pay
Now I've thrown it all away
Slapped that rush of waves right out my face
With each deep breath that I now take
The storm is calm and this is how I'll stay
