I may never have you
But at least I know you’re there
With the slightest possibility
Helping to muffle fear

I may not know your scent
But I know I’d know it
If I could only pick it up

I see you from afar
You smile, you wave
Tell me to set sail
But I lack a boat
And the skill to swim
In these rumored travels
One foot drowns the other
As they forget to say

Drench my lungs
As I weaken in your core
If only I could have
Just a little more
Of your time

You may not be real
But I’m not sure I care
As we’re thrown against
Waves of nowhere

You’re real enough for me
Even if you remain
On opposite sides of circling beasts
I can still imagine your hair
Blowing with the rhythm
Your eyes shining with the moon
Your feet in the sand
The water inches from land

I can hear you call out
Even from far away
Your voice will always
Be clear as day
So I call back

Reaching you as you reach me
Our echoes hold hands
In this swirling deep

O’ sea lips,
If only I could kiss
The salt in your wind
Life would be just

O’ sea lips,
Evil must feed
Patience is our  key
To defeat its greed
And we will laugh
At the pity it pleads
For we have—
—and always will
Succeed

O’ sweet sea lips,
Breathe into me
And I will never breathe you out
