The red lines on your arms tell me
how long you have been
under the sea
how your gasps for air
have remained unheard
while the water crashes in
from cracks in walls and from within
Can't see the sun from under the sea
can't feel it's heat – we are too deep
under the water, under the waves, under the ocean that drowns us all
no ark, no savior,
no ark no savior,
no ark no savior and no god to whom we could repent.
Your anger shows us,
just how strong the pressure is.
And that you're tired
because you've tried
to push the salty water out of your lungs
the rain has pushed you down
Our skin got so wrinkled and salt took all color,
my fingers ache from swimming and my eyes turned blind in the abyss.
We’re all, We’re all drowning.
You ask me why my head seems so dry
for it was floating on the surface
I am just like you, I cry,
open another bottle and drink away the flood.
