i dream of you, the colours merge
into a perfect ocean of art
but im swimming against the tide
thats trying to drown my heart

a sea of pain and heartache
saturates my skin
mirroring and slowly exposing
all ive worked so hard to keep in

washed up and missing pieces
lungs gasping for a breath of air
lying broken on the shore
well beyond repair

hope flowed through my veins
but this harsh sea has left me dry
and youre not here to pick me up
to remind me how to smile.
