The tide

Walking in the forest, I heard the whispering trees
they told me more than I ever will be able to see
I heard the birds singing a beautiful song
but I sensed they were lying, something was wrong

I thought the path took me away from my pain
and was showing the way back to my life again
Instead it was fooling me to believe I was wanted
and when I reached the end, I was disenchanted

I found myself trapped in a corner, with no way out
with no one there who could hear me shout
All I heard was the echo of my voice
and with the echo ringing, I had to make my choice

I knew what I was putting myself through,
but I wanted to do it, I still do
I jumped from the bridge into the sea
and then I started to float around you helplessly

Listening to your voice all through the night,
trying to keep me from drowning with all my might
But the waves are stronger than the strength of the tide
they will swallow me, before I reach the other side

Now I'm a sunken ship, forgotten until the end of time
As I am part of the sea, you are a part of the tide.
