The Gift

As the water rose I could only think about the mistakes that lead me here A simple choice Made out of ease One lazy summer afternoon I walked the wrong path Now I'm knee deep Wading in the sickness I regret it Unwelcome outcome Open up my eyes Truth hit me As the waves come crashing down Get me out! Get me out! Get me out! Before I start to drown After it all passed I'm riddled with disease Forced to reconsider And go back to the start Get me out! Get me out! Get me out! Before I start to drown
