I'm immersed in silky water
drifting out to sea
It reminds me of that lost feeling
I'll continue to fight with indefinitely

No control over my direction
it's all out of my hands
drifting onwards and returning again
the tides not appreciating my plans

I can still see the shore
but it's already forgotten about me
it doesn't notice or care
that I'm floating away so aimlessly

I don't even feel I can fight it
just let it hold me in its grip
I'll let the ocean make my decisions
and I'll gaze in wonder at the cliffs

I doubt this will end well
about the conclusion I don't want to think
can't help but roll with the tides now
until I'm saved, or left to sink
