Boundaries - Johanna Warren

I never really believed you were mine

Even though that’s how we’re told to define love

Love does not seek to control or confine

Even though that’s more than I can say of mine

But maybe we just need a little more time

To sit back and watch these knots unwind

You know everyone’s scared they’re losing their minds

But if you open your eyes, they’re easy enough to find

Too bad we’re so fucking stoked to be blind

I can’t seem to shake what you said

And I don’t feel safe in my head

I will be raised from the depths

Of my sorrows, at least when I’m dead

Mother, forgive me, I’m lost

But I’ll find my way home, whatever the cost

I’ll lay down my weapons and crawl

My way back over all the boundaries I’ve crossed

Well I know it’s hard to loosen your grip

But try to see you’re hanging on to a sinking ship

No matter what, just remember to breathe

‘Cause I believe we got a few cards up our sleeve

Everything is a part of the whole

So don’t let the black hole in you take control

And everything has a reason to be

So don’t believe it when they tell you you’re not free

And it’s you pitted against me

I can’t seem to shake what you said

And I don’t feel safe in my head

I will be raised from the depths

Of my sorrows, at least when I’m dead

Mother, forgive me, I’m lost

But I’ll find my way home, whatever the cost

I’ll lay down my weapons and crawl

My way back over all the boundaries I’ve crossed
