A flower in an ocean.

Somebody once told me to look at the sky
And see past the shadows.
See it’s not so blue.
It’s vast and it’s empty and it’s falling fast.
For crying out loud
We’re falling fast.

And they told me to stop seeing colour
And they told me it’s all black and white
And they told me that blood is worth shedding
If it sweeps you into the night.

Somebody once told me to stand on a mountain
And see all the small people scurrying.
See them walking
And running
And hurrying
To a place they don’t need to be.
Cause it doesn’t matter if they’re there.
And it doesn’t matter if they’re here.
We’re all just scurrying to nowhere.

And they told me to stop seeing colour
Cause change is just going to be grey
And they told me it’s not worth living
When our lives are just washed away

Like a flower in an ocean
rolling in the storm.
Heading somewhere that is nowhere
to a place that cannot last.
For crying out loud
We’re falling fast.
