Take a breath when you are born
cause soon you will start to sink
A sea of life on earth
often it can stink.
Swimming here is very much a task
it can be very hard,
clawing past your peers
for air, you can starve.
Climb upon your family
lest they hold you back
lest they hold you back
scratch past your friends
or be forced to digest their flak.
disguise your tears with cynicism
for this is life
rot your innocence with criticism
cut childhood out with a knife.
The world is a sea of life
and it's easy to drown
hit the bottom of the sea
only bodies to be found.
People here must often fight
must scratch and kill
swim to the top of the ocean
if need be against others will.
It will pain you morally
it might even hurt
once you reach the top
then you can contemplate the worth.
If an eye for an eye is what is true
then oceans reflection stares back at you.
rot your innocence with criticism
cut childhood out with a knife.
The world is a sea of life
and it's easy to drown
hit the bottom of the sea
only bodies to be found.
People here must often fight
must scratch and kill
swim to the top of the ocean
if need be against others will.
It will pain you morally
it might even hurt
once you reach the top
then you can contemplate the worth.
If an eye for an eye is what is true
then oceans reflection stares back at you.
