A wave came
Washed me offshore
I was Shaken and tossed around
As I fought it, the wave grew more powerful
It said "you'll never see her again"
The terrible wave kept repeating itself, growing louder and more furious
Finally, I let go of everything I've ever held onto
I was drawn deep into the sea
For years I am stranded
A thousand feet down
The loneliness tears me up inside with every tide
Awaking to darkness, I spend my days
Wrapped in my unfaceable fears
They haunt me and torment me
They laugh in my face
I hide from them as they break me down from outside my transparent shell
I'll never come up
Because my fears override my desire to escape
