Wishes Unfulfilled 

I just want to release you back 
Put you in the Genies lantern
You showed me a whole new world 
Then abandoned your post 
Now you can grant wishes for everyone else 
While I lay here lifeless from your power 
Sometimes wishes just cannot be fulfilled 
You know all about this 
But it’s time for me to rebuild 
And grant my own wishes 
Enjoy your new job 
Where others suffer at your expense 
I’ll just sit here in suspense 
While you play and dance with the mob 
I’ll find my own tower to rule 

I walked under the lamppost and thought of your mom
She'd come back if she could to remind you she's gone
And beg you to stop doing what she did wrong
I only hope, if you listen close
Momma might knock some sense into you from beyond

And I'm up on the overpass watching the cars
And you know what it feels like to fall just that far and you
Act like it never hurt you that hard
But it tore you apart

If you wanna go, don't wait for me
You'll be alone, the cycle repeats

I looked up at the lamppost, searching for a sign
Above me, it flickered, was it worth your life?
I think back to my knowing you were born to be wild
What happened here?
You disappeared
And I can't bring you back, the blind can't lead the blind

If you wanna go, don't wait for me
You'll be alone, the cycle repeats

I walked under
I walked under the
I walked under
I walked under the

I looked up at
I looked up at the
I looked up at
I looked up at the

I walked under (I walked under)
I walked under the (I walked under)
I walked under
I walked under the

I looked up at (I looked up at)
I looked up at the (I looked up at)
I looked up at
I looked up at the

I sat under the lamppost and welcomed the wind
I don't mind lying to myself, it'll sweep you back in

If you wanna go, don't wait for me
You'll be alone, the cycle repeats

Beauty in everything  

I want to see all the beauty in this world 
More flowers, butterflies, sunsets, and rainbows
People holding hands walking in the market 
Hills and mountain tops 
I want to watch the birds 
Maybe take a few flights
And talk to new people 
It’s not about what you have in this life
It’s about the memories you make
And the experiences you have 
I want more 
But wanting is longing which is wasteful 
What's so wrong with a little lust?
Maybe throw in some envy 
These traits are always inside us
It’s okay to be you 
You’re perfect just the way you are 

Give and take 

I tend to always give and give 
But rarely receive in return 
Life is like that sometimes
We often get back from the universe what we put out 
Blessings of abundance in other forms
Like when watching a mesmerising sunset
Or from having an exceptionally satisfying conversation
With a stranger 
This is where we get our gifts
In those marvellous moments 
That can just take your breath away 

Your passing holds no interest 
For again I carry on
Empty on the inside
I await another dawn. 

Endless searching for another
A substitute at best
Someone I pretend is you
In hopes that I may rest. 

Their arms offer no comfort
No solace in their touch
I pretend they all are you 
The one I miss so much. 

All signs pointed to you 
In the intrinsic constellations painted in the sky
And the shooting stars above me
Even in the rabbit you sent as an omen 
The signs were there all along 
In the dog you finally decided to get
That saw me as an ally 
He remembered me as I remembered you 
I saw you in the water like Narrsicus 
In every song I listened to
You were whispering the secrets of life
In every piece of art I was shown 
I saw all the connections
And in between everything you never said 
I saw you in the people I was connecting to
In the abandoned buildings longing for comfort 
I also saw you in the mirror 
I was worried you were trapped in
Where I knew I needed to liberate your soul
So I broke you into 10,000 little pieces 
And released you back into the world 
Bringing you back to the life you deserve 
Showing you that peace and happiness are attainable 
I hope you get the ending you’ve been searching for

Where to begin? Oh, let's pretend we never met
So I can disappear a moment
I've been tryna swim with both my hands behind my back
My dear, I always feared the ocean
And somehow this one word in my mouth
Was left unspoken
And I won't admit my parents split when I got sick
But I refuse to be a burden
And I said
"Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness howling out"
Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did I lose my mind and am I still looking for it?
'Cause I dont know why I feel this emptiness howling out
Howling out
You're not alone, the world is small
And I am sick of all the talk of finding purpose
Love comes and goes but the big black dog, he trails along
Am I the only one who knows him now?
And somehow I gained 15 pounds
But lost my focus
And I suffocate things slow
Until I'm just the black fly circling my bullshit
Oh
Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key and what is the meaning of it?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out
Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did I lose my mind and am I still looking for it?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness howling out
Howling out
Deep blue, deep blue, 05072
Deep blue, deep blue, 05072
Where to begin? Oh, let's pretend we never met
So I can disappear a moment
I've been tryna swim with both my hands behind my back
My dear, I always feared the ocean
And I said
"Is there something keeping me here for the minute, darling?
Did you find the key? Then what is the meaning of this?
'Cause honey, sometimes I feel this emptiness
Howling out"
Tell me one thing keeping me here for the minute, honey
But if I leave you now then what's out there waiting for me?
I don't know why I feel this emptiness howling out
Howling

The worst feeling is being abandoned 
By the people you love more than anything 
Am I really that repulsive?
Or just too misunderstood 
Is it because I’m setting boundaries 
I feel too much responsibility sometimes 
Like im carrying the whole world 
On my shoulders, like a boulder im pushing uphill 
Crushing me from the outside in
I feel like I’m the only flag bearer 
Not knowing whose flag im fighting for 
I try to take command 
Just to get shut down endlessly
Where is the rest of my tribe?
Because I've been searching my whole life 
For the people that I need 
And the ones that need me 
Please, find me, im staying right here 
Where you should also be
