lyrics

i went down to that seaside
searching for a part of myself
that I lost at age nine

glow in the dark stars
and a night light
was the only thing that kept
me from thinking i really do have monsters under my bed
i thought i checked before
i could have sworn i closed the door

i keep going down to that seaside
hoping that the tide will bring it in
my darkest light
that was my armour that night

i can't help but think i don't want to be alive in a world where it's okay to be a thief in the night
i think you stole my stardust
because i can't for one moment believe that i am anything other than a suicidal galaxy of unhappy thoughts
and a gift of seeking morality

I don't go down to that seaside anymore
that missing stardust is long gone im sure

this is my ode to the kids with locks on their doors
who wonder why anyone would treat them like this
for the survivors, the wiser, the mistreated:

you are not a mistake, this isn't your fate, let's choose where we go from here
screw the poets
there are no beautiful suicides
you're memory isn't your legacy
you are art alive

you are here.
you are here.
you've made it this far

please stay here
please stay here
please stay
