Pulling Me Under

(Instrumental: palm-muted guitar with haunting melody)

In the shadows of our laughter, lies a darkness untold,

Every word's a dagger, every silence, a fold.

I reach for understanding, but the pain grows despite,

The tempest of your anger, it rages through the night.

I see you slipping further, lost in the chaos of your mind,

But here I stand, a witness, searching for the ties that bind.

Why can’t you take your medicine, why drown in the tears?

Each fight pulls me under, I'm drowning in fears.

It's highs then it's lows, a rollercoaster ride,

But love’s not a battle, let’s stand side-by-side.

Walls echo with the silence, that follows every storm,

Your soul’s a fragile canvas, painted with the norm.

We dance around the edges, where the anger meets despair,

But that's not where I wanted, my heart's too worn to bear.

I hope you'd reach for solace, amidst this swirling night,

But you're pushing me away, while I’m longing for the light.

Why can’t you take your medicine, why drown in the tears?

Each fight pulls me under, I'm drowning in fears.

It's highs then it's lows, a rollercoaster ride,

But love’s not a battle, let’s stand side-by-side.

Fighting on the edge of what we know is dear,

Your whispers turn to thunder, as I tremble with my fear.

Yet here I am, still hoping, we can find a better way,

To calm the storm within you, before we drift away.

Why can’t you take your medicine, why drown in the tears?

Each fight pulls me under, I'm drowning in fears.

It's highs then it's lows, a rollercoaster ride,

But love’s not a battle, let’s stand side-by-side.

(Instrumental: palm-muted guitar fading into haunting melody)

We’re fragile, we’re lost, but can we find our place?

In this whirlwind of confusion, can we fill this space?
