It's a prologue with a preface An unconsolable defeat It isn't what you want But it sure as hell is what you need It's a border of perception The lines drawn in between You're throwing water on your canvas And it's smearing all your ink (Don't wash yourself clean of me) Maybe you lost the reference In the course of seven years While you were holding all my trauma I was holding all your fears We were never quite as bad as we made each other out to be So here's to the violins you hated But listened to for me You were the one who let me breathe again I never got to thank you for everything you did You were the one who let my demons end You were the one who finally took me to the ocean You made me feel safe in my own skin A damn near miracle after everything he did You were the future that I had to end Cause I couldn't tell you that it happened again You were the one You were the one who You were the one You were the one who You were the one You were the one who You were the one who finally took me to the ocean You were the one who finally took me to the ocean
