I look at the water and I see free
How it rushes to the shore and eases back into the sea
Drip
Its always a choice between life and death
The pressure of being sure is one the water can seize
Drip
It crawls down porcelain white
It seeps under my feet
Drip
It's always a choice between depression and happiness
The red stained sea showed the future no one wanted it to be
Drip
It sneaks it way up my feet
It tickles and pleases as it slowly consumes
Drip
It's always a choice between okay and insane
Water was a manipulative being
Drip
It soaked my clothes
It exposed every part of me
Drip
Its always a choice between failure and success
It was tainted by pink yet it need not be
Drip
It sways below my lungs
It sings hello to me
Drip
It's always a choice between friends and enemies
It surrounded me and made me feel lonely
Drip
It forced me into silence
It lulled me to sleep
Drip
It's always a choice between you and me
Water had a way of seeping inside your head
Drip
It blinded me
It told me to no longer breathe
Drip
It's always a choice between captive or free
The red water made the choice for me
Drip
It filled the room
It mocked you with it's specs of oxygen
Drip
It's always a choice between empty and full
Water loved calling out to tired beings
Drip
It slid down the walls of my lungs
It rose slowly
Drip
Its always a choice between hope and defeat
It smirked at my loss
Drip
It was no longer beautiful
It was in a dark place
Drip
It was my decision and my price to pay
Drip Drip Drip Drip
I look at the water and I see death
And I thought about how scary the after life can be
But it's too late
Someone has to open the door
Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip
No one's opening the door
It has to be me
So I thump and curse and struggle while I'm frozen
And the door slams open
Ssshhhsshshshhshshssh
It ran like a coward
I awoken from my dark stage
I look at the tub and I walk said no
It called my name but I wasn't ready to give in
It screamed out to me in plea
No
Shhssssshsshhhsshhshssss
I dropped the shiny piece and turned off the tap
I walked away but specks of water still clung to me.
