As I bob in the waves,
it feels safe like your arms.
Just the way that it's s'posed to

It is cold, but it's warm
your tears hidden by charm.
Just the way that I'm used to

Ocean flows around me,
frayed at the seams
Just like your hands
covered in gasoline

Smiles covered by
****** hair
But you don't
seem to care

for my mother
though she loves you so



As I bob in the waves
it feels cold like your arms
Just the way I've grown used to

I see your face, and I smile
small cuts stinging my arm
As I remember why I love you

Tears fall around me
frayed at the seams
As I remember your pain
All your broken dreams

Sobs muffled by
****** hair
You cry 'bout those
who didn't
seem to care

for a young boy
who never learned to grow

and my mother
who loved you so!

As I slip beneath the waves
My lips too blue to cry
To the moon for my father

My last memory of him
slips and becomes untied
floats away into the water

Face covered by
frost bitten tears
too cold to remember
my hopes and fears

We're all broken people
we all slip away
crumpled under water
is where we'll stay

Like my mother,
I still love you so
but must
go
