Dive In

Do you ever feel your chest sink?

It’s like when you dive under cold water,

The deep ocean pools the emptiness inside

Even as you try to swim to the surface.

 

It’s like when you dive under cold water,

Gasping for air to fill your lungs

Even as you try to swim to the surface,

There’s nothing left.

 

Gasping for air to fill your lungs

Reaching for the surface, but it’s so far away

There’s nothing left.

Not even a glimmer shines.

 

Reaching for the surface, but it’s so far away

Looking to find its end

Not even a glimmer shines.

You swim farther down, disappointed.

 

Looking to find its end,

The deep ocean pools the emptiness inside

You swim farther down, disappointed.

Do you ever feel your chest sink?
