The waves came crashing in
What I was to do was a sin
As I walked toward the sea
I knew my life was meant to be
Gently stepping forward to begin
The coldness began to sink in
Stopping when I was waist deep
Wondering was the path too steep
I turned to look around
Nothing was making a sound
Just the drumming of the waves
Darkening around my soul like a cave
Murkiness started to surround me
My mind knowing it was all I could see
Water began to fill my lungs
My heart started speaking in tongues
As my listless body began to sink
My lungs took that last drink
For in the world around
I am now no longer bound
