endless ocean


Endless ocean of stolen tears

Only the waves know your fears

Crashes and ashes and waterfall gears

Irrelevance fades as you soak up the beer

13 beaches and sand in your ears

Distraction of distractions for all of these years

Hold on to my hand, it might disappear

Listen to shells, what do you hear?

Please do go, let’s sit on the pier

I could see it so well but now it’s unclear

This endless ocean of chandeliers  

Only the waves have your ears

Romances, missed chances while the seagulls all jeer

The sun fades and the stars are near

Green leaves and smoke in the atmosphere

Why are you even here?

Hold on to my hand, I might disappear

Into this endless ocean of the insincere
