washed overboard

4 0 0
                                    

it's hard to be a single soul at sea

and see your ship wrecked on some unknown land's coast

struggling for a single breath of air

hearing the siren's song down the abyss

and feeling numb, numb, numb

tired of fighting these endless waves.
