Taking On Water

Taking On Water

On a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere
Lost the memories of where I am and why
Black ocean churning, a million stars are burning
Planetariums were right about the sky

Once upon a day, I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind, take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves, and I'm taking on water
Hard to see, I won't always be alone

There was a time when August sun was high and centered on me, 
But it did me on my back and settled down 
Used to scream through the land, used to size it in my head 
But it fell behind the line that leads to sky

Once upon a day, I set off on a journey
Wishing on the wind, take me far from home
Now I'm on the waves, and I'm taking on water
Hard to see, I won't always be alone

Inside this storm, 
whipping in the wind
My sail is torn
In other words
The ends, are never not my own

Hard to see
I won't always be alone

On a sailboat I am slowly floating nowhere
Hoping someday I'd wash upon someone else's shore
