Waterlogged - All Else Failed

It slips away, buoyant for now

It’s drifting past, just out of your reach

Though you swim fast, something still holds you back

The current’s strong, but I’m your anchor

You turn to me to cut you loose

But I just smile and hold you closer

I fit you like a pair of concrete shoes

And the water is rising

So snug it’s suffocating and the dead weight drags us both under

Sinking in a sea of promise, I whisper everything’s ok Embrace me and we’ll both go under

As your dreams drift away.

As your dreams drift out
