THE INSECT AND THE OCEAN

There's a better man,

inside of me.

I may not show him.

I keep him hiding.

Doubting what little love I have,

as shadows talk,and shadows dance.

    You don't want a life like this.

       Searching for existence...

A world that was,

when we were young,

Has long since been gone.

We try to see ourselves,

in reflections of the purest hell.

     You don't want a life like this...

        Searching for existence...

I know it's sweeter,

somewhere else.

Then in this needle.

I can't live like this.

A believer...

Though confusion frosts my eyes.

I know it's deeper,

there's more to come.

When I need it,

just give me one more...


I'm an insect in your ocean.

Waterlogged and going down.

Now only ghosts are here to help me.

So I go through their hands,

and I drown.
