Sea of Doubt

I'm on the edge of a cliff

Gazing into an abyss

Weight of it all crushes me, a landslide of anxiety

I'm in the forest of my mind, adrift in moonless night

Where is the map for the journey?

Where are the crewmates who joined me?

Borne adrift, a fickle route

I'm in a sea of doubt

Not again, not again, not again, not again, not again

Is this it, is this it, is this it, is this it, is this it?

I'm sinking deeper, submerging in the sea of doubt

Gotta tread water until I reach the shore and find my way out

We scatter the ashes from the singing birds' urn

Lingers in the air, then it settles into the earth

There's a light at the end of the tunnel

It may appear soft and subtle

And when you're trying to push up hill, the world tends to make you kneel

It's a harsh and feeble game

Your heart was full and then it sank

Breath bubbles to the surface

My anchor closed the curtains

Here comes the sun to clear the fog

Here comes a friend for me to lean on

Through the swell and through the cloud

We're gonna swim out of the sea of doubt

We stand on solid ground

We take the time to look around

The lightness of the air lifts me, a breeze of serenity

We're in the meadow of our minds, basking in its delight
