I'm fearful to see how this day ends
Cause I know the sunset, but will it rise again?
I'm obviously looking through a lens
Flash photography for a memory of some time I spent
I'm tearful to no longer know my old friends
Wherever you wind up I hope you find it easy
And come back to see me when
Low on energy, need a remedy, we'll reflect on all this then
In shallow water
You still can drown
Start sinking down
Oh you're drifting now
In the shallow
Thinking of leaving my humble abode
Reaching for spirits but all I found is old ghosts
Seeking to empty my head full of dope
Need no sympathy, kindness killing me, find my own source of hope
Dreaming the earth stood still
Long enough for me to catch up with myself
So leisurely is how time gets killed
No rat-race tragedy, all anxiety, that's not my will
But in shallow water
You still can drown
Start sinking down
Oh you're drifting now
In the shallow
