water’s rushing in.

filling the holes

blinding the eyes

hurting the soul

water’s rushing in.

leaving the innocent helpless,

or even the guilty,

water doesn’t care who you are

water’s rushing in.

add some soap

make it a bubble bath,

but the soap blinds too

water’s rushing in.

try to stop it,

block the holes

water doesn’t stop

water’s in.

breathing isn't an option,

for how can you breathe 

with no air?

water’s taking over.

fire starts from within the soul,

you better put that out.

more water to douse the flames?

water’s doing what water does --

it rushes in

and if you aren’t strong enough,

it will win
