starving to please

(3/00)

you're wading at the surface
blind to storm and thunder
fighting to find your purpose
before it pulls you under

you're starving to please
something that can't be appeased
don't satisfy everyone else
by sacrificing yourself

because you only believe
the things you want to see
and you can only see
the things you want to believe
i just wish this world could be
as real to you
as you are to me

there was something about you
that always kept me coming back
but now there is something about me
that refuses to pick up your slack

because you only believe
the things you want to see
and you can only see
the things you want to believe
i just wish this world could be
as real to you
as you are to me

a wise woman said
that being yourself is what beautiful is
once you unlock that beauty
you will feel what it is
to be free
to be free

until then

you're wading at the surface
blind to storm and thunder
fighting to find your purpose
before it pulls you under
