Ocean of Voices

Standing here in the ocean, stood here all alone This tiny little rock is all I have to call a home Trapped here by my otherselves that are running around my head A different one floats to the surface everytime I go to bed And when my eyes open I'm lying face down in the sea Echos of laugher ring as myselves are mocking me I strike out in each direction every day that I'm awake Hoping to leave that tiny rock far behind in my wake But each morning I'm back on this rock with laughter in my head Control has been unravelling now its hanging by a thread Help me today, help me tomorrow, Help me be all I want to be, Help me today, help me tomorrow, Help me I'm drowning in this sea With red raw meat in the briney deep and head bent to knee Slowly adding to the endless depths of the heartless, uncaring sea Each ship that passed I could not grasp, the others steered me wrong I watch them sail right on passed despite my plaintive song The voices inside are getting louder with each passing day They clamour and bray so loudly I cannot hear what they say At the centre of this maelstrom is the boy clinging to his rock Buffeted by the wall the noise our body goes in to shock The one voice that spoke of holding on to this tiny spark of life As finally gone silent and is now reaching for the knife Help me today, don’t wait for tomorrow, Help me before I slip beneath the waves Help me today, please don’t wait for tomorrow, Help me I'm drowning in this grave
