Deeper and Deeper

I dive down into the deep waters I swim down in my dreams Looking for away to block life out While experiencing all the beauty Of being down among the the marine species Of my conscious daydreams. I swim with no fear of drowning Even though I cannot swim at all The sea beckons me as if we are friends of old I think subliminally That I am searching for an Atlantis A place of real dreams Away from hard realities of life So I swim ever deeper down And its getting darker I can feel the pressure pushing down on me I feel it constricting my lungs But no one knows I am here So nobody can save me Deeper and deeper where is Atlantis Deeper and deeper beyond the point of return I feel it hard to breathe and my heart burns Where is the ending for which I yearned Where is the lesson to be learnt When I’ve no ability to think now And yet I still don’t have any doubt That what I seek is deeper, deeper in the water I keep descending even though I know I ought not do But now I am beyond the realms of salvation My only hope is Atlantis comes to my rescue.
