She Walked By the Ocean
When the dust settles
And you look about you
What will you figure out
That while entombed in the gritty mist
That you were someone that we could miss
That all of your hopes and dreams were
Nothing
But convenient place holders
In your mind
Im so sorry its over
Your hours of self destruction and torture
And I swear any other summer you are
Something altogether different
Standing by the water
Closer to the edge then you should be
And you recall what its like to float
A wise man once told you, to understand jesus
You first must take a drink
Stay up late and watch the moon turn into the sun
With burning eyes and dry tongues
A self so delirious
False gods will appear
To lead you to safety
Question?
…question whats real
