Rough Waters
I sail within the ocean
 To try and clear my head
 So lost in thought I couldn't see
 Rough waters up ahead
 
 The waves keep getting stronger
 They splash across my feet
 I'm stranded in my thoughts
 I don't think to retreat
 
 So far lost in thought
 That I don't even know
 The air is getting colder
 As the wind begins to blow
 
 The skies are getting darker
 Waves splash up past my knees
 I don't even realize 
 The sudden change in degrees
 
 Waves splash against my elbows
 Yet I'm still locked in my trance
 The water consumes my ship
 It never had a chance
 
 The water's rising higher
 It's right under my chin
 But I don't even notice
 That this might be the end
 
 The skies are clearing up now
 The storm's over at last
 And as for what happened to me
 I got swallowed by my past
