All my life running away From the shadows underwater, gasping for air Once my family swam along by my side But the sharks were faster in this cold tide Now I swim alone, the horizon is empty Searching for a reason that was never there I am so tired, the current is too strong I'll stop swimming now, I'm done. I wash ashore and I flounder for my life Not 'cause I want to give up, but I can't do it anymore No strength left in my fins, no flounder left to show Just when I lost all hope down below… The sea takes me back again. The sea takes me back again. It takes a while for the lights to rise For a moment I believe I'll find my place That everything's okay, that peace is finally near But I am different, that's what I've learned I don't belong anywhere, so I swim alone once more Until I hear the sharks nearing. They hunt me down, I don't know where to go The cycle starts over again, I'm so tired. I wash ashore and I flounder for my life Not 'cause I want to give up, but I can't do it anymore No strength left in my fins, no flounder left to show Just when I lost all hope down below… The sea takes me back again. Here I lie again, right on the boundary of sand Thinking of the past, of how I ended in this land Thinking of the sharks who caused all this pain The sharks who decided how my life should go How often have I laid here, waiting for the tide? Hoping for one last flounder to make it right? But this time is different... this time it is good. I wash ashore, but I'm not floundering anymore This is the very last time No strength left in my fins, no flounder left to give And the sea… the sea takes me back to be free. This time I won't swim away. I surrender to the sharks, to the deep, to the emptiness. I float, and the quiet finally feels right. I see their shadows, but I don't have to fight anymore.. My final breath, I close my eyes. No longer alone... Now I am the sea.
