[Verse 1] I had to learn a way to breathe in the water that I’m under And I wonder about all the things I want to get away from And why I rarely get to stop and pause for a chance to come up So I can watch the sunrise high above me when I’m in the deep And it’s just something I get small glimpses of throughout the day Because surviving the sea has become a suffocating routine And I want.. I have to swim away [Chorus] You have to keep swimming and I want to swim away I have to keep swimming so I’m swimming away I wasn’t made for this I was born to live until the day I die Not just be underwater for the rest of my life Like a mermaid, a mermaid They don’t exist but I’m just existing What’s the point of breathing if you’re not really living? Nothing feels real anyways Like a mermaid, a mermaid [Verse 2] And I’m wondering about all the things I want to get away from But when I finally take a break and think What do I let get away from me? They say life’s a beach so then I must be a mermaid That’s why I can never land Why I can never stand and no one understands Where I’m coming from or who I am [Chorus] You have to keep swimming and I want to swim away I have to keep swimming so I’m swimming away I wasn’t made for this I was born to live until the day I die Not just be underwater for the rest of my life Like a mermaid, a mermaid They don’t exist but I’m just existing What’s the point of breathing if you’re not really living? Nothing feels real anyways Like a mermaid, a mermaid They don’t exist but I’m just existing What’s the point of breathing if you’re not really living? Nothing feels real anyways Like a mermaid, a mermaid

High on Past Lives

By Erika Poling

I wrote this after attending past-life regression therapy. I have a scientific and artistic mind so I discovered a psychological alternative in combination with my current psychiatrist's perspective. I wanted an answer a little more thorough and artistic than science; and I found the answers to the questions asked by the creative aspects of my personality.

Mirrors & Minds (Devil’s Eye Remix)

By Erika Poling

So basically, this piece of writing is trying to capture looking at oneself in a mirror, through the mind's eyes, and from another person's point of view. It's still a work in progress. The idea to combine creativity, the laws of physics, and creative writing to express both my right and left side of the brain. It's not an easy thing. Seeing yourself, while being used to 1st and 2nd person perspective writing, and then adding 3rd person perspective lyrics (about yourself; well myself) can get confusing and contradictory. It is a perfect representation of my mirrored self. ?????????

Count to Ten

By Erika Poling

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... 10. I have to count to ten before the volcano erupts. Life comes at you fast and stress can build up before you realize you're about to explode. We've all felt overwhelmed before..

Straight to Hell

By Curtis Nolan

Imagine yourself with a shovel hitting the dirt and starting to dig you're own grave. The contemplation that come next, and the hope that the grave really isn't yours. Ultimately you know that by the end, you are going to be at the table with devil.
