Alone in a Sea

Alone in a sea

Deep and dark

It creeps around

I swim harder

So I won’t sink down

I fight harder to stay alive

This is my life

Isolation in dismay

Fabrication fills the day

Looking for a cloud

So I can float away

Time is slipping by

I’m pulling light out of the sky

Moments keep slipping by

And I break the sound

Fighting my way off the ground

God is still as I cease to breathe

Looking in my sleep

For something to keep my head above the ground

Hold my soul safe and sound

I walk down the dirty streets

Looking for someone to keep

Close to my chest

Burned in my breast

I need to be alone

I need to be on my own

Hold my soul safe and sound

Hold my heart above the ground

For without you I’ll fall

Hold my soul safe and sound

Hold my heart above the ground
