Sleep In The Sea

Darling, are you lost, adrift at sea?

There is an anchor tied to your ankle that begs to watch you sink

Is the bottom of the ocean where you want to make your bed?

I could feel you slip through my fingers and sink towards the abyss

But nothing that I did could ever keep you

Safe from the ocean that's filling your lungs

There is an anchor tied to your ankle that begs to watch you sink

Effervescent mind, sinking so fast

You could have been just fine if you had listened when I cried out

Stray from the tide or my words will become a distant sound

Separate from the shore and you will surely drown

My heart never felt so full, when you would wake in my bed

You made a choice to return to the waves

And now it feels like a part of me is dead

I would give anything to bring you back

But you're gone, and you sleep in the lowest depths of the sea

There is a hole in my heart

A fragment remains but never the same

You filled the space until you gave up on me

With my feet stuck in the sand and

Just out of reach of grabbing your hand

Your mind will sift through the past

Your heart torn in half, this breath will be your last

Sleep in the sea as the anchor becomes your destiny
