Quietly

Title: “Lost at Sea” [Intro] (Soft piano and gentle strings) I hope… I hope you know… I hope you know… [Verse 1] She gave herself to the ocean, She lost herself at sea. When the pain would not subside, She was no longer with me. I tread lightly, so quietly, Tiptoeing—tiptoe, tip tap, tip toe, tip toe. [Pre-Chorus 1] They’ll never know, They’ve never seen snow— How could they grow When indefinitely there will be spring? [Verse 2] Stop. I love you, I love you. Time flutters like moths in my gut— We can’t love without love, you know? Let it go, let it go… How does that story go? Braided bread in the oven, You see little ones coming. [Pre-Chorus 2] Separated at birth—what was? Now everything hurts… Everyone has that, Not always, but yes— Mother knows best. I pray that you’ll always forgive me. [Bridge/Spoken Breakdown] I’m bad because I scream, You’re quiet when you’re mean. No one is really listening— Words building as others talk. Such a disservice… That shit’s so surface, it’s not worth it. So keep your word spit— Your words, so surface: Was it worth it? Did they hit? Were they vapid? Keep your word spit— No one needs it. That’s why I go in, Why I go in, That’s why I go in. [Chorus/Outro] I give myself to the ocean, Lost at sea, no longer with thee. So tread lightly— You won’t find me. I float quietly, You won’t find me.
