lyrics

it's hard for me sometimes
to recognize the trite

I over-think the irony
i over-think who's right

i never see the picture
big or small, my failing fixture

i only see the darkness
even lights are like shark fins
comin after me
i'm hangin on to sea

i think crazy sometimes
i let my mind commit the crimes

i want to let go and be free
but i anchor my misery

arms in hands
i keep them close like friends

time is not a factor
in fact it will impact more

but all my obsessions
lead to my progressions
i fall, i get up and keep pushin on
i'm tired and frustrated but i'll move on

i only see the darkness
even lights are like shark fins
comin after me
i'm hangin on to sea
