Footprints

Carried Away

When you're jealous of the breeze or the waving ocean

That can carry you away, sink or swim

You realize how much you want that instead of your own life

You think of the possibilites, start thinking you can float away

It hurts so bad when reality wreck your train of thought

Derailing what hope is carried away on that baloon of imagination

Pop, it drowns, gravity affects it too...

And to come to terms that life isn't a dream but a nightmare

You wake up with sweat and fear, the lies that sink you by themselves

With no intent to do any harm, the waves lap on

And the wind breathes the air into your lungs

Until you get to the conclusion that your lungs don't use that air

And would rather be sunk with the waters of despair
