Fading away

Washed up

Swept away

The rhyme of life

In

Out

In

Out

Lulling you to a sweet sleep

Inside your own world

Your own ocean

In

Out

The constant change

Becomes the new normal

Until it’s the same

Until the contrast is gone

You can’t feel the last pull

That brought you too far out

Pulled you under

You don’t know how to keep your head above the water

Because you never learn to swim

When you’ve always had the swirling water

To keep you afloat

But now there’s no in

It’s just out

And only when you’ve washed up on an island

Far out at sea

When you finally look back

But the shore is gone

And you realize

How far

You’ve really let yourself be swept

Into the pulsing waters

And you think of all the things you left behind

At the shore

So you will yourself to shut down

To slip into the water

To become what you aren’t

Until you're just another wave

Crashing at the shore

Not realizing that you’ve finally made it back

Fading away

In

Out
