Last orders at the bar
Last orders at the bar
Look at me
I'm like
A ship wreck
Lying on the sea bed
Decaying
Covered in coral and rust
Too tired
Too weary
To
navigate my way back
to
the surface
Tired
of trying to avoid the bends
And
the turbulent flow
Just
to get to dry land
And
They're calling last
Orders
at the bar
But
I'm drowning
Oceanus
Has decided it's
Time
