Rolling Waves

It's ok to come along with me
I'm a steady boat in a raging sea
My arms look weak but they're strong enough for you
The silent promises I'll make, the ones you never knew

There's a storm brewing here but we need the rain
You want a life devoid of struggle and free of pain
That ideal thing, I want it too
But more than anything, what I want is you

See how my fingers fit so right with yours?
How your hands perfectly cover the places I was sore?
Your body, a perfect fit to mine
Did you consider any of this a sign?

Take your advice from movies and songs
The ones that stay in your head all day long
Listen to them, they're quite well-versed
Because you've already heard, the blue-eyed ones are the worst.

Unnatural

This pain in my back, I can't figure out what it is
Comes and goes and kills and eases
You're that way too

Engulfed in a flame, all thoughts on you
Can't turn them off, consumed by the fear of burning alive
My skin was melting but I was ok with it
Because when I was the burn, you were the aloe

Before yesterday, you were the sunshine
Warm and inviting and the least thing from scary
But I didn't wear sunscreen or move out of your light
And you're burning me now

You're burning me now
Stinging me now
Melting me now

You're killing me now.
