Keys

I guess here's where I pour out my feelings

Typing on these cold dark keys

I guess here's where I start revealing

What it is that I really see

-

Here I lay in bed

Thinking of the undertow

I know this repeats what I've said

But it's where I want to go

-

Where swirls of black water flow

Where it ends? Nobody knows

Forever the turquoise sea glows

Revealing a light forever shown

-

Forever sparkling through the cool waves

Forever reflecting off the walls of caves

Void from bullets and pistols

Water clearer than mirrors of crystal

-

My heart dragging me through the water

My body an obedient slave

Don't call my mind, please don't call her

Cause I don't wanna be saved

-

Now my soul soars imagining the sea

But my brain brings me back to the keys

This is where I'm told I'm supposed to be

So with no choice, my dreams I shall leave

-

But imagine small shining grains of sand

Being slowly pulled from the ground

Brought up into swirls with waves

In this beautiful home I have found

-

And listening to the ocean's sound

I remember my favorite hellhound

She made a promise, forever bound

She told me I must wait to drown

-

But hey, I'm typing on keys

On a laptop that's not even mine

Although the waves are where I wish to be

If I drown, my friends will die

And my hellhound won't be able to fly

So I guess this isn't my final goodbye

-

But my toes, they felt so cool

In the sand near earth's rippling pool

Salty sand in my hair

Waves crashing down through the air

-

My mind's battle never ending

Written messages never worth sending

Seaweed tied to my legs, I'm forever bound in

Cool dark water, waiting to be drowned in

-

Once again, I'm writing with keys

Which wouldn't survive in the water

So I step in to the seven seas

Cause I don't wanna be a survivor
