Drifiting further out to sea,
The strength will soon be leaving me.
Our ships have sunk [bad word] aground,
And only sharks now swim around.
Smashed and battered by the waves,
Support their hope of being saved.
And every passing ship to chance,
Salvation in a passing glance.

I may need dreams from time to time,
But dreams aren't keeping me alive.
My dreams have torn my life in two-
Now I just need a rock to cling to.

I'm often closer than I think,
Yet my grip is far too weak.
I grab a box and swim away,
Time and time and time again.
But not for me this time I guess
And then the next and then the next.
Greater than my fear of being saved
Is my fear of crashing waves

I may need dreams from time to time,
But dreams aren't keeping me alive.
My dreams have torn my life in two-
Now I just need a rock to cling to.
