swim for the shore

 

Swim for the shore

In your thought mysteries unravel

This is why I keep myself alone

Fear rejection more than life itself

If I never try

How can I be let down?

You don’t know the word that travel through my head

You don’t know what I think of myself

Wash away crimson stains

Wash away in my sorrow

 

I dreamed that I would be like you some day

Strong tall and proud

Who said that I ever wanted to change?

When did it ever matter that I was let down

 

Oh a distant dream my blank mind filled with the rubble of it all

Oh I scream at the silence and watch it fall around me again

I never said I had no regrets if I could change I would

Oh my dreams drown beside me

But I swim for the shore

 

I found words that made it better

If only for a little while

I wrote these words to hide away from you

If only in denial

I trap you between my fingers

I never wanted to let go

A distant dream I couldn’t hold to

I release my grip and learned to smile

 

I dreamed that I would be like you some day

Strong tall and proud

Who said that I ever wanted to change?

When did it ever matter that I was let down

 

Oh a distant dream my blank mind filled with the rubble of it all

Oh I scream at the silence and watch it fall around me again

I never said I had no regrets if I could change I would

Oh my dreams drown beside me

But I swim for the shore

 

Oh swim for the shore

I won't drown alone anymore

Oh swim for the shore

A new light on the dawn

A smile
