🎵

mouth full of salt i didn’t swallow

sand shifts like i borrowed someone else's sorrow

your light leaks into the swell

and my hands won’t stop searching your face

🎵

there’s a giving in the water

shaped like a promised kiss

there’s no imprint, but the water reacts

like it knows your lips

🎵

i’ve drowned here before

same weeds, same lull

same lie at the shore

you speak in the break

but i never hear more

i don’t know you

but i’ve drowned here before

🎵

fingers float, dumb and stubborn

but it’s seaweed and breath instead

i drift through a name

you haven’t said yet

🎵

someone woke a fire inside my lungs

and it’s yours—

you didn’t ask, but i keep it warm

what are we?

unfinished?

undone?

🎵

i’ve drowned here before

and you keep showing up

like you’re part of the shore

i don't know your face

but i carry the forge

i don’t know you

but i’ve drowned here before
