I see it in your eyes, a search for something more
You can't brave these waves, by watching from the shore
Why you scared to dive for the dreams you anchored deep
You belong in living waters, you know you'd grow from what you reap

If you'd breathe through me, then your soul could be exhumed
Bathe in fire, and though alight you're not consumed
The facade you bear burns to dust within that heat
You need validation, and I can make you feel complete

Visions of us
The place I always go
These streams map my body
And I'm swept to the undertow
Envisage your hands
Between, above and below
You'd see what you do to me
Watch me overflow

Feign the lust no more
His pretty love feels no good
Tell me, has he touched you
Like you know I could
Does it quench that thirst
Fill the empty parts of you
Does it reach out from the inside
And let your soul come seeping through
No

If you'd breathe through me, then my soul could be exhumed (I feel my way to you)
Bathe in fire, and though alight I'm not consumed (I feel my way to you)
The facade I bear burns to dust within that heat
I need validation, can you help me feel complete

Visions of us
The place I know you go
As streams map your body
Are you swept to this undertow
Envisage my hands
Between, above and below
You'd see what you do to me 
And I'd watch you overflow

Visions of us
Do they remain fantasy
It twists the knife deeper 
Out pours the worst in me
I'm with you as you writhe with him 
You think that I don't know
Why submerge these feelings
Ashamed to overflow for me, for me

Why fool yourself fighting 
For love you know untrue
Cause in final breaths
This crawls it's way to you
This flood when alone
Why something you can't show 
I'm drifting in darkness
Alone to overflow
