White fingertips grasp your body
Walls of water soar at your face
Currents tug you under, deeper, and deeper
Helpless in this violent embrace

Drowning in sorrow these waves of emotion
Show no signs of subsiding
Relentless in strength they embody the force
Of the problems from which you've been hiding

Longing to go back to the friendly shore
Where troubles were for another day
But that day is here, the future is now
And this ocean isn't going away

Your limbs are weights, dragging you down
The temptation to give up only grows
But between the waves is a glimpse of the horizon
And you remember that highs follow lows.
