Sea Me

Every day, after everything's done I come home… To a room where the walls hear me cry alone… They breathe with me; they hear my pain… They shelter me, and keep out the rain… But outside my room, it’s so ugly and bleak… Outside I try to be strong, but inside I’m so weak… The rules of love have beaten my heart senseless… Nothing is clear anymore; my soul is so restless… I'm hollow in a sea of hurt; it feels me up… A sea full of people down on their luck… My arms are tied above my head, my feet tied below… And on I sink into a sea with waters of sorrow… If things are so clear, why can't I see? If things are so simple, how are they supposed be? People are so petty, with their mindless games… People who lie, kill, hurt all with no shame… What do I look upon to ease the sting? How do I know what my life will bring? Why couldn't that same sea that is so miserably deep… Tell me where to find some happiness or some peace… For once I would like to know who holds my fate… For once I would like to not know love, not know hate… Ignorance would be my ultimate bliss… If there's no feelings, there is nothing to miss…
