Take Me Out To Sea

Take me out to sea, To swim among the fishes, To glide between mountains, To sail far from the break of this surf, Take me out to sea, Where I can set sail and be free, No worries, just somewhere I can be me Without being seen Where things seem so calm, After time and time again, The steady winds roll me over this vast pool This vast world, closer to the edge Closer to the end, throwing anchors Who's tails reach for the marianas trench subduct my soul, my ship is swallowed now alone, a turtle without it's shell How will I survive? I thought things would be so easy So pleasant, at the shore These travelogues and monologues Displaying beauty around the world, With sands running for miles I said take me out to sea To better me with beauty to help me see the calmness of the sea With the breeze through my skin and the salt settling in, Why aren't things as they seem? The surge rises and falls, Well I have seen the unpredictable, I was taken out to sea to meet the ocean inside of me
