Took you a long time to reach the shore When the seas seem fine and collected Lest the sins and sadness you abhor Haunt you through the old days relentless
Heavy is the heart that carries the world And weary is the world that hates itself You saw the shores and loathed yourself Since you tried and swam but sinked again
While up above, the banquet of stars shone Right over your head as to mock you terribly Then in the aftermath of it all, the sea set off Before you began to learn how to drift along
But when the seas seem fine and collected You found yourself embracing for the worst Because in the midst of the pain and enmity Nonchalant strength foreign to you, stayed
Forget all the sins and sadness you abhor For the waves that crushed you day and night Washed your weary heart that sinked unfailingly Fooling it may be, but pain did build you whole
Looking back to the days of grasping for air Often lets you forget that you took to the shore Not even realizing, it's not time that took pity You swam and persisted to the days relentless
Lucky was the moment you thought of living The harbors in the shores were such a sight There's still a lot of seas yet to be conquered But lucky is it, you can still persist relentless
