On A Sea So Shallow We Sail....

On a sea so shallow we sail,
On course for a watery grave.
Over and over and over again,
We set ourselves up for failure.
 
On a sea so shallow we sail,
With ghosts of our former selves.
Ghosts that haunt our tomorrows,
That we're destined to die today.
 
On a sea so shallow we sail,
With winds howling to ignite.
You are the storm,
And I am a torn sail.
 
On a sea so shallow we sail,
I sink beneath the breaking waves.
Failing to cling to my strengths,
As water is my weaknesses.
 
On a sea so shallow we sail,
My lungs fill with regret.
There's no colour where I'm headed,
Just sins and salutations.
 
On a sea so shallow we sail,
Our ship is in disrepair.
The terror wraps around my waist,
And takes me to a bitter end.
