It's Not Me

It's been a while Since the whisper went away No planned exchanging Just a slipped in sort of trade And the things I loved They fell into the sea And I watched them sink And dissolve in front of me It's not me, it's not me I kept my coins inside a wishing well And they went and drifted to the sea It's not me, it's not me I went to go and find the treasure chest But I couldn't lift it from the sea It's been some time now I stopped trying for the trade What went missing Well I let it go away I had kicked down to My deepest sea Then I swam for air And shore ahead of me It's not me, it's not me I kept my coins inside a wishing well And they went and drifted to the sea It's not me, it's not me I went to go and find the treasure chest But I couldn't lift it from the sea The stringed things that bind and tie A little blanket for denial A little basket for the orphan child That swings and glides Here's a poem here's the facts Ride a current high and after that Spread your body on the ground And let your weight just shift around You've got your pillows for your rest Carved your marking on your family crest Make a wish and cast the line It's not me, it's not me, it's not me, That drifts into the sea
