Tide and Swell Vs Self (Ft. Vs Self)

[Verse 1: Kyle Schlenker]
Is there a cure for outbound aching?
A way to quell the tide and swell
A better look than outright begging
That's less shameful than my hands shaking

[Verse 2: Dante Gracia II]
I could try to erase who I am
Black out all that I was taught to fear
Sacrifice all that comes with it
Extinguish hope, thought, and joy

[Verse 3: Kyle Schlenker, Kyle Schlenker & Dante Gracia II]
Why must I try to pick a side?
This isn't for me, my eyes are wide
Why should this life feel like a fight?
If I bury a part of me, haven't I died?

[Verse 4: Kyle Schlenker & Dante Gracia II]
In my room I tried to explain
I tried on your clothes to ease my brain
Without the words, the best I could find
I'm neither and both on the inside
