Oh, ease and tranquility how you elude me, As I float- no splash- about this insanity. Waves of new faces, Words lost in the wind, Form an ocean too deep. I stare in a silence that is deafening Sorry- excuse me- no wait, please don’t leave How should I, somehow, fashion an ore And keep from drowning? Sick of ticks that trick people- no you are not a bother to me I promise- just let me catch some air, see? I'm fine... just when should I avert my eyes and how long should I smile? And… Crash! Another shipwreck where passengers flee But every once in a while I encounter Another without proper tools, whose heart also beats a million times a second When sitting- when walking, talking, sighing...crying. And I welcome the unskilled sailor aboard, Because in these unsteady waters so cold We have each other.

Unsteady Waters
Oh, ease and tranquility how you elude me, As I float- no splash- about this insanity. Waves of new faces, Words lost in the wind, Form an ocean too deep.

Sick of ticks that trick people- no you are not a bother to me I promise- just let me catch some air, see? I'm fine... just when should I avert my eyes and how long should I smile? And… Crash!

And I welcome the unskilled sailor aboard, Because in these unsteady waters so cold We have each other.
