Dear Self

You and I
Need to call out for help
Cause we’ve wandered too far out to sea
I'm alright
I keep telling myself
But I'm finding it hard to believe

I try to wait it out, wait it out
But you’re down in the lungs
And it’s harder to breathe
I’ll never make it out, make it out
With all the terrible questions
You’re throwing at me

Dear self
You are the heaviness in my chest
Dear self
You are the weariness in my breath
For all the times you took control
And all the years of mine you stole
The day has come to let you go
Dear self

It is I
That‘s been holding me down
But I'm finally able to see
I'm alright
There may be scars on the chest
But it’s holding a heart with a beat

I try to wait it out, wait it out
But you’re down in the lungs
And it’s harder to breathe
I’ll never make it out, make it out
With all the terrible questions
You’re throwing at me

Dear self
You are the heaviness in my chest
Dear self
You are the weariness in my breath
For all the times you took control
And all the years of mine you stole
The day has come to let you go

Now I'm finally falling
Into the waves of the unknown
I’ve left you far behind me
For the grace I now call home

Find me finally falling
This place is now my home

Dear self
You are the heaviness in my chest
Dear self
You are the weariness in my breath
For all the times you took control
And all the years of mine you stole
The day has come to let you go
Dear self (you’re gone)
For all the times you took control
And all the years of mine you stole
The day has come to let you go
