about

A song about DEPRESSION and the VAST SMOTHERING ABYSS of BEING ALIVE.

lyrics

I'm in the dark swimming aimlessly
And I can't see a single thing in front of me
And I can't see
The bottom or the surface

The water embraces me
My life is all consumed by banality
But I could swear
That I used to live with a purpose


But I forgot what it was
And I hope that I find it again,
Because sometimes I
Remember dreams of flying,

Though I can't say why,
And nothing is about to begin
And the ocean is so deep,
And the ocean is so wide
Like I've never seen


Life in the ocean ain't so bad,
I've got all the water I'll ever need
I just might make myself at home
And eventually, I'll forget how to breathe

And I'll grow gills and float along
And I will never sing another song, never sing another song
And when I die, I'll die in peace
And I'll sink to the bottom of the sea
Where nothing will remember me,
Nothing will remember me


I'm in the dark swimming aimlessly
And I can't see a single thing in front of me
And I don't know
When the paddling might tire me

I just go where my arms will lead;
I've got all the time left in the world to see
But sometimes, I miss
The things that used to inspire me


I've lost them all
And I hope that I find them again
Because the thought of ceasing to swim is horrifying

So I can't let up
And I hope that it won't do me in
And the ocean is so deep
And the ocean is so wide
Like I've never seen
