Gazing at the sun
From the ocean floor
Unable to breathe
Canât be sure if I need to
Your wings, now rotten scabs
That you need to keep damp
I made a choice, now the tethers burn my skin
Why does my blood run cold?
Bereft of air weâre sinking further
Habituating, you say you feel it
Getting warmerâ¦
But I canât feel a thing
Here on the ocean floor
I can see its light (through the water)
I cannot feel the warmth (it radiates)
Sympathy is spent
I learnt to hear the cold (through your eyes)
A silence so intense
Stifles our words of denial and contempt
As we dive down through the sun
A thousand miles from shore
I cannot fucking breathe
Canât be sure if I need to
Need toâ¦
My neck jerks without warning we surface
No time to decompress
No time to decompress
But you stumble back towards the edge
You leap, I follow
Together we dive
downâ¦
The ocean is your sky
Into which you soar
All you see in the surface is the sunâs and your
Reflection
Down here if I dream, I dream of sleep
And I canât feel temperature anymore
And I think I could float suspended for days
daysâ¦
My neck jerks without warning we surface
No time to decompress
No time to decompress
But you stumble back towards the edge
You leap, I follow
Together we dive
downâ¦
The ocean is your sky
Into which you soar
All you see in the surface is the sunâs and your reflection
(Wonât you) let me drown
Or let me breatheâ¦
These tethers have become
Waterlogged and rusted to
Keep you smiling
Compassion beaten down
My hopeless anchor
Daedalus, for all he tried,
Forewarnings forever
Fell upon deaf ears
Icarus you are deceived
Your wings turn to roots
Clutch at the sand now and take shape
In the place that holds you down
Just a word of comfort
You will never drown
Icarus you are alone and always have been
So why am I here?
The ocean is your sky
Into which you soar
All you see is the surface
