Black Lake

Now jump, just jump, now jump, just jump, now jump, just jump, now jump, just jump
Into that oh so cold black lake
Your heart's broken it can't pump
High volume depression out of- your- head
The sun comes up, every day you look the other way
Thinking some days you'd rather be dead
That silver lining god designed is lost on your head
Your face is scarred and lined, it seems shattered
I regret running when I saw how battered
You were, inside and out
Your smile never shined on enough to sprout
Knowing how hard it is to look deep, you focus on the surface
Never to reap, the benefits of not feeling worthless
Dirtnap nightmares, scare you- awake
Running hard and going no where can't keep you in- shape
Rather than stand up and look, you hunker down when you hear the earth shake
Hiding in that numb Black Lake
Is that poisonous strangle holding drug fueled snake

It's time to read the book of you and yourself
It's time to get in touch with your mental health
The physical part- is par for the course
Descartes had it all the way wrong
False with a capital F
If you build your body your mind will be strong
And if you sit in stupor your soul will grow deaf
And I don't know how to reach you if it can't hear
What I have to say to you my dear
It's just that I don't have the heart to make your eyes tear
Clear down to the souls of my feet I can feel my heart beat
To the rhythm that bumps from your chest
I can't help but wish I was impressed
So weak I have to strain to listen,
Your heart is overloaded with it's one feeble mission
Lovely darling eyes glistening like stars shining
I wish this wasn't as hard as diamond mining
Can't you understand that the one thing I want to do
Is help you, grow enough, so that I can, trust you?
I'm sick of this one way path
Our relationship just isn't worth the trash, I wade through
In order to struggle to reach you
I want to be wrapped up in you girl
In your gorgeous auburn curls
In your beauty so luminescent
Don't hold me so far away
Please find a place in your heart for me to stay
My flame is bright but it's soft
Let it warm your balloon and raise you aloft
I won't ever burn you,
Just let me show you what's up above these clouds
The sun setting,
From up here alone all I see is the Black Lake
Spreading isolation in every direction
One step is all it would take
One second is all it would take
To end it in that freezing anonymous numbness
