under water, they say I can’t breathe
I’m alone and I sink to the deep
under water, so they say
lays the beginning of decay

but the shore, they carry on
just mad men go
and soon are gone
the shore, they emphazise
means only death and suicide

this they taught well, but not to float
and I can’t swim forever
the water spreads far and abroad
and there is no ‘together’

the lone and ruth smile of the moon
drives me mad, yet not enough
to seek the brink and hence my doom
and I run out of luck

yet as my strength begins to dwindle
desperation fades and die
and resignation kindles
a soothing thought inside my mind

I am released to leave this place
my body ease, my eyes are shut

But as I break the cold surface
the waters brawling ceased
and I open my eyes twice
to see an oceans mind

under water I breath
and feel alive
