I am a rock Buried under an ocean where the skinners rule the surface And everything else beneath Moves unknowingly with the current But deep and still I stay You were a rock too Left feeling alone and unloved parts of you eroding with time the ocean was very rough on you Yet you were never swooned by the current Never tempted to float to the top where the waves crashed in the shore For your sadness was akin to mine And the abyssal I have lived in for the first time felt like home Someday Just like you I will feel like I belong somewhere in the vast depth of the unknown Little did I know Lost just like me There are other rocks at the bottom of the sea Though how dark and scary it may seem I know will not be alone forever for You taught me that it was okay to be a rock

I am a rock Buried under an ocean where the skinners rule the surface And everything else beneath Moves unknowingly with the current But deep and still I stay You were a rock too Left feeling alone and unloved parts of you eroding with time the ocean was very rough on you Yet you were never swooned by the current Never tempted to float to the top where the waves crashed in the shore For your sadness was akin to mine And the abyssal I have lived in for the first time felt like home Someday Just like you I will feel like I belong somewhere in the vast depth of the unknown Little did I know Lost just like me There are other rocks at the bottom of the sea Though how dark and scary it may seem I know will not be alone forever for You taught me that it was okay to be a rock
