Into The Blue



Not thinking abut jumping ship are you?

Looking down into the blue
Wondering what it’d feel like to sink deep under
Watch it all fade
Forgetting all the pain

I lied to that man who asked me if I needed a hand
Maybe he could see something I couldn’t (or wouldn’t) see in myself

Salt hanging in the air
Seagulls swarm while my heart races
How do I get out of here?

Darkness falls
The street lamps turn on
And here I am all alone
Looking down into the blue wondering
Where it all went wrong
