[Verse 1] Born from oil, forged for use, Clear and hollow, sealed with truth. Filled with purpose, a single sip— Then cast aside with no farewell or grip. Promised rebirth in that blue-marked line, But fate was silent—there was no sign. Tossed in shadow, not reclaimed— No one saw me, no one came. [Chorus] Drifting cold through oceans wide, Forgotten soul on a rising tide. Cracked and beaten, pulled by foam— Cast away, yet I still call it home. [Verse 2] I watched the turtles dodge my frame, Felt the seabirds drown in shame. Storms above, silence below, Years of floating, nowhere to go. The stars would stare—so far, so near, A bottle made to disappear. Not trash… not treasure… just alone, In waters never meant to be my own. [Pre-Chorus] I was meant to come back new… Isn’t that what humans do? [Chorus] Dragged by currents, frayed with time, Borne by guilt that isn’t mine. No voice to scream, no place to roam— Cast away, and far from home. [Bridge] Why did you make me just to leave me? Why build hope if you won’t retrieve me? I am not the enemy— I was made by you. Forgotten by you. Buried by you. But still I float… I endure… I wait… [Final Chorus] And then— Hands reached through the veil of waves, Pulled me from the liquid graves. Cleaned, reshaped, reborn, regrown— Cast away… But now… carried home. [Outro] Not lost. Not waste. Just waiting... To be made whole.
