You were dead in the water
couldn’t stay afloat
Sucking air through a salt screen
The good ones always choke
Capsized, hollowed eyes
You were fish food for thought
We soon forgot you
Where were we when you were drowning?
Staring at the sun.
Get up! Get up!
Learn to suck it up!
Give up! Give up!
I heard your call
Needed my help
You took the fall
We should have picked you up!
Where were we when you were drowning?
Staring at the sun.
If you could swallow it whole
Like a gumdrop of grief
Would you save some for me?
Would you drink it in deep?
If you could gnaw on this bone
Would you sharpen your teeth?
Would you use them on me?
Would you set us both free?
Flailing failure
Salt on your tongue
Head under water
Lungs start to swell
Pain, pressure pain, pressure
It all feels the same any way
Pressure, pain, pressure pain
It all feels the same
I heard your call
Needed my help
Staring at the sun
We soon forgot your name!
