In Between

Water rushing around me, body's weighed down Looking out, sky's red, eyes sodden With doom No submarine savior can save me now Deaths sticking to my clothes like stale Perfume Too young to feel this old Too old to crash it off and move along Some octopus goddess with a hundred arms Wraps herself around me "I'll keep you safe from harm" ...she says Can she feel me slip from her grasp So much to see, don't need this trap Too young to feel this old Too old to crash it off and move along Sands shifting beneath my feet, look to the sea Jokers stalk the shore, comforts in between What's the harm in losing what's to be lost Sink below the waves, ignore the cost Too young to feel this old Too old to crash it off and move along Just need a sister or a dried rose To skip me like a stone A kitchen dance, A tender hand A romance, a happenstance Too young to feel this old Too old to crash it off and move along
