Waters

The river is all I know It constantly ebbs and flows It's never the same step twice It's changing as time floats by I feel a hundred thousand things In every minute The sun sets in western skies The clock is always ticking And rain pours down And people drown They drown in their thoughts Of being alone I'm no different What do I know The river is all I know The ocean is too damn big It has most of everything There's too much left to explore And we've yet to touch its floor I feel a hundred thousand things In every minute The sun sets in western skies The clock is always ticking And rain pours down And people drown They drown in their thoughts It's overwhelming I'm no different What do I think The ocean is too damn big The lakefront's a bit decayed It's seen some better days My feet dangle off the pier There's peace and stillness here But rain pours down And people drown They drown in their thoughts They push them away I'm no different What can I say The lakefront's a bit decayed Currents of waters fail And dams will break In an exhale I've stopped swimming upstream I've since let go And I feel free I feel different I feel at home I feel casually vulnerable The river is all I know The ocean is too damn big And the lakefront's a bit decayed The river is all I know
