I sought calm seas, The seas I knew, Where I was born, Waters I understand. I charted my course And unfurled my sails Just in time for the storm. To spirit me away Into the unknown I though I was Prepared, a good sailor But when the skies Turned dark and the Waves grew tall, I was not ready For my mind to Fall to pieces, My spirit to collapse. I gripped the wheel Holding on tight As lightning struck The deck around me. With one last wave The height of the mast I was tossed away, Carried out to seas Yet to be charted. Floating, drowning Churned around By angry swells. The water floods My empty lungs And feeling unexplored Pains unexperienced Filled my empty mind. I shiver in the cold.

I sought calm seas, The seas I knew, Where I was born, Waters I understand. I charted my course And unfurled my sails Just in time for the storm. To spirit me away Into the unknown I though I was Prepared, a good sailor But when the skies Turned dark and the Waves grew tall, I was not ready For my mind to Fall to pieces, My spirit to collapse. I gripped the wheel Holding on tight As lightning struck The deck around me. With one last wave The height of the mast I was tossed away, Carried out to seas Yet to be charted. Floating, drowning Churned around By angry swells. The water floods My empty lungs And feeling unexplored Pains unexperienced Filled my empty mind. I shiver in the cold.
