Rough Tides

Where the world isn’t ready to listen
All alone you are
With the grey sky
 A body which is helpless 
A mind which is defeated

A feeling that’s gone 
Stuck deep inside your grave
Hard to come out 
And fight for your way

You are not anywhere near 
A mellow filled with sunshine
And daisies but far away
Where the tides are rough

There isn’t any land
You are stuck in a rock
No one by your side
The echo of your voice hits in and out
coming back to you again

You give up now
You give up here
Hope is gone with the wind
Far away from where you stand
And the world isn’t ready to listen
