Lost in a dream of who I used to be

Shuddering to think of what they see

Adrift in the ocean drowning in shame

As waves of sorrow silence my name

My soul weathered by the guilty air

Haunted by visions of judgmental stares

Tumbling like driftwood onto the shore

With emotional regrets left to endure

My salvation is felt close at hand

As I burrow beneath the tranquil sands

The key is death - death is the key

To save me from - my remorseful me
