Standing Tide

As I stood there on the shore
I felt the tides come in to wash away my remorse
And all of the things
That kept my up at night
So frightening, disappeared
Beneath the breaking waves

Well I could marvel at it all
And scan the lines between
But I know this world has nothing left for me
Fear, fear of the unknown sets in
What will I find when I'm down below?
The ebb and flow of all thoughts
Threatening to overtake

Send me down
I can't think of them anymore
And I can't let my guard down
The sound of oceanic terrors drawing near
It's clear that I can't do this alone

My mind breaks under the strain
Calling me back up to the surface once again
Through darkened seas you may hear my scream
I've changed the man that I used to be

All these scattered memories
I can't begin to understand what's real
And what's concealed behind these jaded eyes
And if you could see (The way I'm bleeding)
From this wound so deep (So deep it cannot heal)

My mind breaks under the strain
Calling me back up to the surface once again
Through darkened seas you may hear my scream
I've changed the man that I used to be

I swam so far below, I swam so far below...
Send me down
I can't think of them anymore
