The water I walk through has begun to burn
The understanding: I should have turned
I fear the good and love the pain
The pleasure of the ritual is all I gain

I should have done more. I should have spoken
I worked too long to be this broken

My hands lunge for the controls but slip away
I have worked on this for 100 days

My length of stay is soon to be up.
The captain of my ship has called me up.
Opposed to his seat is where I set up.

The understanding I could have done better,
But my stay on the shore was spent under the weather.
The fear of the rain kept me locked up—
I wonder what would've been
If I'd just looken up.
