My mind is an ocean and I cannot swim
Feelings rise with the tide, thoughts crash together in waves
I have never heard the shore’s subtle hymn
Frigid water rises, paralyzing each limb
I fight to stay afloat but my body caves
My mind is an ocean and I cannot swim
Hope is devoured in darkness, light from above dims
No one will save me so I sink to my grave
I will never hear the shores subtle hymn
I make peace with defeat, darkness takes me victim
Somewhere from the abyss a voice breaks the haze
My mind is an ocean and I want to swim
There is no one coming to save me, but what if I was him?
The voice wakes me from my suicidal daze
I want to hear the shores subtle hymn
I refuse to drown, the waves may still come and the tide may still crash on a whim
But hope rises within me in bubbles, I rise with them until I see the surface’s glaze
My mind is an ocean but I’m learning to swim
I can almost hear the shore’s subtle hymn
