Clinging to the buoys of the ocean
One after another in an endless succession
Fighting for my life
If I let go, I'll drown

Growing so tired
Its been years, lifetimes, eons
And I can't hold on much longer

Oh no! An undertow!
Slipping... slipping... grasping in the dark...

Then suddenly it hit me
I am the ocean!
Drowning was never even a possibility
How silly of me!
