The moment I woke up
I knew this day would be fucked up
I knew that my ways would screw me up
I’ve got some things I’d like to share
But this will be cryptic
So as not to cause a scare
Lately I feel like I’m washing away
I’m sitting on the bay
My body and mind stuck in the wave
I sit and watch morning fade
I sit and watch the night cascade
I sit and watch, I can not do
I sit and watch my feeling blue
I think about the things I have
Things - things - things, so good, so bad
Helpful things, hateful things, loving things, and losing things
I am losing a thing of mine
I love it and hate it
I see the time weaken it
This thing of mine is so real
Like a calendar or a wheel: it moves
But I move too, a little faster then it
And I can see the wheels lagging a bit
I will miss this thing of mine
We had good times
Good times and fun and laughter and tears and fighting and hurting
But good times ever going
For this thing of mine and I
Our end I feel it near
I’m watching as the tide pulls back
And I know the feeling of something pulling back
But then I ask myself
Things - things - things, good and bad
Do I need it all?
Do I need a little bit?
The thing so real is starting to hurt
And I have to get out
Before I get hurt
I’m moving and not slowing
I’m going and growing
And if my thing doesn’t grow with me then it, sadly, cannot go with me
Cause I must go where I please
The thing I love is sailing to sea
