Float
My mind is a sinking ship
The world's set ablaze.
Holes punched throughout the hull;
Passengers drowned in a daze.
And her contents-
Well, they got claimed as
"Lost at Sea",
I guess no salvage crew
Ever saw what I could be.
Now I'm sitting far below
This thick sheet of blue.
The sun's light only shines once
Everyday, quarter to noon.
The quiet helps me think
As darkness swells within.
The ghosts roaming
These flushed halls
Are learning how to swim.
Now they've started a mutiny
To the captain's delight.
These spirits will all be free
Long before midnight.
The sun break's through the day after,
No wreckage to be found.
Everyone has floated up
To give life another round.
