You wish for the sea
The quiet ocean
The liquid dreams
To go one last time
A last train home
Home in the unknown
To wade out among the waves
To sink back and let them carry you
The last of you
Like a blip at the horizon
Before fading from view
You let the water take you
Swallow you as you swallow the salt
Pouring in it purges your lungs
You've breathed like this before
And now you will do it again
The first breath that gave you life
Will be the one to take you back in again
No more they will call your name
Little boy has gone away
Little boy got lost again
Little boy grew older
Little world found a little colder
It dimmed the flame
Now a diminished spark
Submerged you embrace the eternal dark
Mother I am sorry but I need to go home
Where the thoughts of me won't follow
Where the voices never speak
Where the night forever sleeps
You gave the gift of life to me
And I am sorry for taking it back
This life is not for me, does not belong to me
I'll let its weight carry me, to bury me
Bury me at sea
