We're swimming in what we believe to be an ocean,
Dreaming because we need a new reality,
Faking because at best we are all liars,
Believing that one day we will be alright.
Truth is like a river it flows quickly and it erodes the rocks,
And if you aren't careful you will crack your skull,
There is nothing more hurtful than the truth,
Especially when it comes from the mouth of those you love.
When I find I have trouble sleeping I dream of the ocean,
Because one day I suspect my body will be floating in it,
After all, what is death, but a long sleep?
And soon I will be sleeping in eternity.
People make it sound like your life is wasting away,
And I believe sometimes they are right,
But with my very own lonely oceanic mindset,
Maybe one day I'll find a better reason to live.
I like the second stanza quite a bit. I also like "oceanic mindset."
