I swim alone and think,
no longer teetering on the brink.
I've left the ledge behind me,
and started drowning in an endless sea.
These thoughts they race along a neverending track,
some racing faster just to pick up the slack.
I try to clear my head, try not to think,
and realize that maybe I was better off on the brink.
Now I'm in an endless sea,
not knowing if there's eternity.
I know there's a shore somewhere.
I know there's someone who cares.
I'm away from the people who understand what I've been through.
I'm away from the people who care about what I do.
I look back on my simple feat,
no longer caring in the least.
I've left the ledge behind me,
then started drowning in eternity.
Just how I've been feeling lately,  I'm away from everybody that cares, including my girlfriend.
