I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I'd rather swim ashore

Without a life vest I'd be stuck again
Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim
Like 'fourteen miles away'

Now floating up and down
I spin, colliding into sound
Like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom of my
Everything that freaks me out
The lighthouse beam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be
be

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down

Where is the coastguard
I keep looking each direction
For a spotlight, give me something
I need something for protection
Maybe flotsam junk will do just fine
the jetsam sunk, I'm left behind
I'm treading for my life believe me
(How can I keep up this breathing)

Not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending?
I thought of just your face
Relaxed, and floated into space

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion... yeah
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down

Now waking to the sun
I calculate what I had done
Like jumping from the bow (yeah)
Just to prove I knew how (yeah)
It's midnight's late reminder of
The loss of her, the one I love
My will to quickly end it all
Set front row in my need to fall

Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
into the ocean...end it all

[Zayra]
Into the ocean ^(goodbye) end it all ^(goodbye)
Into the ocean ^(goodbye) end it all ^(goodbye)
Into the ocean ^(goodbye) end it all ^(goodbye)

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion (yeah)
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down

Into the ocean ^(goodbye) end it all ^(goodbye)
(In to space)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all ^(goodbye) x5
(I thought of just your face)
_{Into the ocean... end it all} x 4




-- Edit --
P.S. I'm going for a run.
It's midnight. It's dark. It's dreary. And it's rainy.
What better time?

I really like this song. I find it peaceful to just ignore the lyrics and listen to the music and the sound of his voice.

Re: comment
Yeah.. he didnt tell me that it can cause my brain to do all that stuff. I guess he doesnt know me. I cannot stay still. I am a single parent. I need to drive, make lunches and all that crap. I dont think my kids know what's up with my head. I know sometimes I sing silly songs and act wierd, laugh at my own jokes but that is how I am normally. ha ha. Only my daughter noticed that it was more than the usual.

I have been taking this stuff for 4 days and only today I decided to look that stuff up. ha ha. So bizzare!

Dude, you do a lot of stuff at midnight huh? I think we are in the same time zone.

I dont get it. Is this your poem or someone elses or is it your poem and a meta-analysis?

If it is your poem I think you need to stop wearing black and shades at night. You need to hang out in the sunshine and make some friends to hang out with that wear bright colored clothes. :)

Have a bright sunny day!!!

This isn't a poem, it's lyrics to the song Into the Ocean by Blue October.

And since I related to it at the moment, I highlighted the parts of most significance.

Tee hee hee
Yup! The drugs work great... speaking of which I hope those gas station guys dont charge me for that hose. Logically speaking it should be able to just plug right back in.

Anyhoo... did i mention that the drugs work really well. So yea.. you need "some sunshine in your life" It is sooo nice and sunny today. How bout in your neck of the woods? Texas was it? Sunny there or just storming and tornado-ville? THAT is why you live there. Cuz you like all that turmoltuous weather. (my spelling may be off a bit) Ok, getting a little sleepy now, little loopy.... WHOO! I need a nap. hee hee.

You are right the parents ruin everything for the kids even sports! Sports parents are terrible. THEY need the lecture on good sportsmanship.

I was an elementary teacher too. But they let me got because I was sleeping with the principal. APRIL FOOLS!!!!

Actually, it's official: there is no better time than midnight to go running or walking up hills. Or pretend hills if you're on a treadmill. That way no one sees you when you're all sweaty afterwards.

P.S. Please don't drown. I heard that song just the other day. Hm. I used to be scared of the ocean a bit.
And, wow. I like rain. This entry just makes sense.

That is a horrible time to run.

I hate the music, but I love the cartoon.
» Dilated on 2007-04-02 01:48:00

I used to be afraid of the ocean, too. Not that I would drown, but that I would drop something and never be able to get it back.

I really like the song "Hate Me". Especially the line,

"You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate."

yeah.

You have a comment? What is it? o.O

I've been wanting to go for a run since I got my new sports bra... but it's crappy, so I don't want to run in it. Stupid $54 dollar bra. :/
