~Too much~
I'm falling in a vast blue sea.
I don't know how to swim and I fear
That the light of sunrise I may never see.
I was running in glee
Excited over something unclear
Now, I'm falling in a vast blue sea.
As I thought of sunrise magestically
Glistening in the ocean, I dashed to get near
Yet the light of sunrise, I may never really see
I am falling in a vast blue sea,
For I slipped off a cliff I was told not to get near
It was dangerous but beautiful, and I'm silly
So I decided to chase the beauty and flee
Warning bells rang but I pretended not to hear
Why do we always desire something stubbornly?
It's like the forbidden fruit, and adam is me
But I won't be exiled, I would stay here
Because I can't swim, and I am falling in a vast blue sea
The light of sunrise I may never see.
