THESE WATERS ARE LONELY
You, out there saving the world
I might need to be dismantled
You’ll need to get to the hurt
Before, promise you’ll be gentle
These roots are brittle
And deep
It’s a bad habit of mine
When I force my eyes wide open
To blink in units of time
Two blue holes in their oceans
Their tides in motion
They steer
(They say these waters are lonely)
There’s only one end to my story
Are your feet firmly on the ground?
(They say these waters are lonely)
That walking on water might be risky
Will someone stay to watch me drown?
And I sail close to the wind
If you blink then you will miss me
I seek the courage within
But I’m blind as those who won’t see
What flows beneath me,
I fear
The moment stars will align
Then nothing else will matter
We’ll fall like verses and rhymes
As the dust and light we'll scatter
To leave a letter,
A seed
(They say these waters are lonely)
There’s only one end to my story
Are your feet firmly on the ground?
(They say these waters are lonely)
That walking on water might be risky
Will someone stay to watch me drown?
(They say these waters are lonely)
What if there’s no one there to care or love me?
Then, there is no one left to pull you down
(They say these waters are lonely)
Am I walking on water, am I crazy?
Will someone stay with me to watch me drown?
