Dragged Down and Out

Dragged down and out

The water level's low

Fish need water to breathe

Strung along the shore

Falling into the night sky

Swaying with the stars

Waiting on a sinking pier

You are gone

Just like a bird

Crippled on a barbed wire fence

Watching the world

Spinning dizzy towards

The unforgiving ground

Washed over and out

Cradled by the flow

Surface is out of reach

In the undertow

Falling into the black tide

Dancing in the murk

Water seeps into your lungs

You let go

Just like a bird

Crippled on a barbed wire fence

Watching the world

Spinning dizzy towards

The unforgiving ground

Dragged down and out
