This song comes from me looking down at the waterfront where I live in Portland, OR. I don't go down to it, I just look down toward it. I can see the bikes and people. Hear the noises coinciding with it from afar. Yet I hold my breath and clutch my chest to the what the remembrance of that spot brings to me. I'm still working on this emotional feeling.

Verse
You take me down
By one look at you
Though I’m drawn to you
I have to face the fear
You are powerful
Your strength takes me down
At the same time strongest to imagination
You are outside of my realms
I’ll find a way
To take my steps to you
Chorus
Though my fear appears to be stronger
Your depth in advancement
Is far equal to
I know I can overcome you
Verse
Your dark and long
Dry and strong
Holding me in my chest
I can’t breathe
I can’t see straight
When I try to look at you
But in reality
You’re just a beautiful place
Am I to move on from this place
And feel my true beauty and resilience
Once I’ve done this
They’ll be so many more
I know, so sadly
But true
Chorus
Verse
But it’s okay
As long as I walk down to you
To the end
Where the fear is the strongest
I will embrace
This beautiful
Moment with you
And then will let it go
Have no more fear
Of this feeling that takes proceeds over me
Chorus
