Sea of Sadness
if we could flood the earth with our tears
relinquish the tight grip held by our fears
at first it’s just a stream lapping at our feet
it feels heavenly, yet it’s all so bittersweet
but as we age, we face more heartbreak
and behind each lesson is it’s own mistake
we’re all trying to channel our inner author
and on this stream, we all can walk on water
the water is shallow, rolling over pebbles
each tear we cry comes with another level
it builds and it builds, then it just takes over
now it’s rising up, it’s almost to my shoulders
so I paddle around in the lake of sadness
it’s heartbreaking to think of it’s vastness
a storm is brewing, a mix of emotions
if we keep this up, we’ll have another ocean
oh, baby, did I tell you that I can’t swim?
save me now, cause it’s looking kind of grim
it’s up to my chin now, getting pretty anxious
trying to tread water, sinking to the blackness
the sea we’ve made, of all the dead love
it’s facing turmoil and the waves are rough
how did I get here, was it the rip tide
if only we’d have just let go of our pride
it’s over my head now, the light is fading
i see you moving but I’m already asphyxiating
and until my body washes up on the beach
I’m slowly losing time and I’m out of reach
so breathe new life into me, let me live
I promise my gratitude won’t be all I give
place your hands on my chest in rhythm
we need to try and kickstart my system
there’s noise and I’m choking on water
I spit it out cause I can’t hold it any longer
the sun is bright, offering a new break
I should change my ways for fuck’s sake
