a man’s a ship with no sails, no creation the sea is not a river we are lost our path will come in waves plug the holes and bail the water for a storm is nigh we’re slowly sinking to the bottom, generations lie beneath, they’re stalked entwined together, does the sea get any shallower? a fever dream last night i was someone i thought i knew a shade of a shadow, reflected through a mirror, in a picture of a photograph, painted by some thespian so who am i right now, if the music doesn’t make a sound icebergs in the water, what does it ever mean? a phantom pain, my weightless spine, a paradise once lost the impact didn’t kill him he survived but never learned how to swim he floated to the top, as the waves caressed his head would you recognize him now, the son of daedalus an ancient myth that resonated some sort of truth but we’ve stripped down the stories, every page and philosophy, we’re living in a world of machines and mediocrity the boat is floating as the waves caress me to, the storm ahead brace thyself for impact really wish that i knew how to swim, i’ve survived way worse than this before hey i see you in the waves, whatcha doin over there why don’t you come back over here, so we can finish what we started awake but so unsure, like a calm before the storm where will i end up today, will i live to see the shore so who am i right now, if the noise i hear is getting loud there’s a pattern in every breath, like some creation boat is sinking as the waves caress me down, bail the water do i need a reason so exhausted will it hurt i give in, was there ever land to begin with who am i right now, did the music ever make a sound icebergs in the water, brace thyself for impact
