I am in the midst of a roaring sea
Without a glimpse of solid ground
I scream for help but the waves fill my lungs with saltwater
And I’m pulled deeper into the infinite void of ocean blue
Every few moments a ship passes by
I give control to the current and flail my arms to the sky in desperation
But I have become water myself
Invisible in plain sight
How long can I keep treading water before I give up hope and succumb to fate?
My legs are getting tired of fighting this endless tsunami
While a school of piranhas nip at my feet
I can no longer keep my head above water long enough to take a breath
And I’m not sure I still have the desire to fight for life.

I am in the midst of a roaring sea
Without a glimpse of solid ground
I scream for help but the waves fill my lungs with saltwater
And I’m pulled deeper into the infinite void of ocean blue
Every few moments a ship passes by
I give control to the current and flail my arms to the sky in desperation
But I have become water myself
Invisible in plain sight
How long can I keep treading water before I give up hope and succumb to fate?
My legs are getting tired of fighting this endless tsunami
While a school of piranhas nip at my feet
I can no longer keep my head above water long enough to take a breath
And I’m not sure I still have the desire to fight for life.
Yeah I’m kinda in a hole I can’t seem to get out of
