Higher

Twisting and turning

underneath the pressure

Being bent into submission

making me sing the lyrics

of what you want to hear

Take me higher

than I can reach

And I can’t let go

even when you’ve let

my wrist go

I’ve delved off your cliff

And now I’m drowning

in a sea of my own sorrows

thinking I can’t be

I sink into my own depths

exploding slowly

Never reaching the end

The streetlamps make me forget

Make me get lost in the crowd

of thoughts

of you

Take me higher

I tremble at the thought

that you’d be able to

control me like that

So much control

is in your hands

I quiver when your voice

begins to rumble

My lungs feels

your baritone voice

that seems to fill my head

There’s something

that keeps me locked

inside your mind

Like you want me to stay

and comfort all the things

that you had taken

But I cannot fill

a void in which

that I have no control

Take me higher

into your mind

Let me see what you need

from me

I crave the way

you think

the way you walk

the way you destroy

I’ve never understood

your obsessions

but I’m quickly becoming one

of them

And all I want is somewhere

I won’t be lost

Take me where I cannot go

Take me higher

than I can go

Take me where I feel ecstasy

mixed with your anger

Take me where

no one has gone

Take me where you haven’t been

Take me where there’s no

mirrors
