Bottled Up
I feel like a genie in a bottle
drifting on the breast of the sea
bottled up inside
being brushed from tide to tide
no one can see me
by no chance they'll
free me
These tears can't cry in this place
no space,the nights seem so long
as I drift farther and farther from
home
I hope to approach land
and be rescued by the
feet that walks the sand
If that is not the plan
I'll drift farther and farther
away
and remain a genie in a
bottle display.
