Splish
Splash
I am sailing in the open blue
Free and
Alone
No one can get to me here
Splish
Splash
I am away from all else
Flying
My troubles have been left behind
Resurfacing as bubbles
For someone else to deal with
Splish
Splash
I am a killer whale
An orca that everyone fears
They won't try to stop me
Will they?
Splish
Splash
I can hear a rumble on the horizon
Could it be
My troubles?
My pain?
Trying to catch up
Ring
Beep
Yes I understand
I get it
I'm on my way
Back into reality.
