It's been a long night away from it all
The grabbing authority of my peers
The rusty cage that never seems to open
When can I escape?
When can I swim to the moon?
I've heard this expression my entire life
Never realized how peaceful a statement it is
All alone on the worlds waters
Here I am
The sun's slowly drifting past the edge of the world (can't blame our ancestors)
I'm the loneliest boat on this entire body of water
Rest will not give my awakening purpose
This is why I have come here in the first place
A peace I have never felt
A life I did not want to live
I will awake through sleep
The drifting drifter
Look into the picture
(The Foreshadowing)
No more panic
No more regret
No more hoping for a new mess
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon
I awake with a cool breeze blowing through my dirty hair
Rested
Stable
A first
A caffeine junkie's longest wish: peace and quiet
No wake-ups
No expectations
This "as seen on TV" anchor is just another lie I guess
Hoping for something that's not there
Filling a void that I can't quite put my finger on
This loneliness I always seek
I'm in the middle of black water
No sign of human life in any direction
The most peaceful event of my life seems to have typically turned into a struggle
I'm in the middle of black water
No sign of human life
Panic takes over my body
I have indeed floated due to a non-reversible decision to flee
Just for a day I told myself...
My survival skills were lost years ago
Here I am: no food, no clean water, and this extremely embarrassing attempt at a "get away outfit"
This is an inevitable death
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon
Look into the picture
(Worry leaves my body)
This is what I lived to be
This very moment is the first time in my life that I've felt pure joy
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon
