Antidote

The ocean is my favorite conversation
She doesn't interrupt or judge my tone
So I talk to her at night
When my head's not feeling right
So much better than just staring at my phone

I've only just begun to name the feeling
It comes creeping in my head when I'm alone
Is it fear or my depression
Keeps me up at night with questions
Like who am I and why don't I already know

Is there an antidote
For the feelings that won't let me go
Open arms and open roads
Won't you come and take me home

There's the thread that pulls a night into forever
Dividing where I've been and seeds I've not yet sown
Between the meaning and the fiction
I'll suspend my predilection with all the secrets that tomorrow only knows

When the wind out in the canyon meets the fire
And the burning in the darkness starts to grow
It won't matter your intention
With all these late night interventions
When the burning world is the one you used to know

Is there an antidote
For the feelings that won't let me go
Open arms and open roads
Won't you come and take me home

Is there a remedy
For all the broken parts of me
Versions that I'll never be
Won't you come and take me home
