She gave me her keys and I drove her insane
Its no wonder she took the car and changed her name
Now I'm taking busses and hailing cabs with no destination in mind
Wishing I could just go home to you.
Man I do not enjoy being alive right now
Promises promises,
broken like bones;
Jarring, jagged and painful.

Never will I ever know
why I wasn't worth it.
But I know it was my fault
Cloaked in a tapestry of evening sky
I dim my light to hide amongst the masses
If only for one night
Armstrong landed
Icarus burned
Some find love
Some just hurt...

everyone.
I've vanished friends like fogotten shipwrecks for the treasures that lay within.
You swore you'd love me until the end of time
But now the end is getting nearer
And I still don't even see your face
When I look into the mirror

What now I see is shadows
Cast from shaky lights above
Where your little voice cries out
"What once was here was love"
Maybe they were right, maybe I am crazy
And what else could possibly be done
When so many of my friends fought the oceans depths
And the oceans have always won

Now its my turn to slay the beast
Beneath the endless blue
Maybe I'll emerge victorious
Maybe I'll get to see you...


-For Etika and Javier
The ocean represents depression, and though two of the three people this is dedicated to drowned in some body of water, depression quite literally killed all of them.

And they were my friends...

The second part is about me wanting to dive into the same ocean that Etika did, to see if I could survive what he did not, while simultaneously hoping that I don't for the possibility of seeing him again.
