Close to Calm

Holding on to something else

sometimes I,

forget about the way i felt

after all, the waves drawn to the shore

come back to the same place

they’ve been before

keep writing songs that sound the same

just like the ones

i used to hear my mother sing

I’m afraid

turn out the light

I’m in my head

and then without warning

I’m afraid

I’m gonna die

but when it ends

I’ll know how it started

Had enough anxiety

As close to calm I’ll ever be

I’m afraid

I’m gonna die

but when it ends

I’ll know how it started

Walking down the PCH

think I might just fade away

after all, the waves drawn to the shore

come back to the same place

they’ve been before

keep writing songs that sound the same

just like the ones

i used to hear my mother sing

I’m afraid

turn out the light

I’m in my head

and then without warning

I’m afraid

I’m gonna die

but when it ends

I’ll know how it started

Had enough anxiety

As close to calm I’ll ever be
