I'm no longer the person i used to be
I'm beginning to lose sight of my dreams
a cloudy haze covers the skies
it seems all I’ve ever been told are a bunch of lies

My thoughts go deeper than my eyes can see
when is enough enough
when is too much too much?
When do I need to think about how I should be

I think I think more than most
Maybe thats a problem in its own
The tide pulls the ocean up to the shore
just to my toes, just to my feet
next thing you know the water is up to my knees

I've never been good at saying no
always been one to go with the flow
But what will I do when the water is up to my chin
and I just then remember
I can not swim
