Deeper Waters

Faded horizons drift away from me
As I watch the world through cloudy eyes
People all around just living their lives
While I'm caught in between the tides
Tears fall slowly down like summer rain
Wondering if this fight is all in vain
I've been here before, worn down again
Swimming through these deeper waters
I'm diving, I'm diving
Into waters unknown
The pressure's building
But I'm still holding on
My lungs are burning
As I search for the light
In these deeper waters
I'm learning how to survive
Darkness wraps around me like a second skin
Loneliness has become my closest friend
Always thought that I was stronger than this
Now my confidence is wearing thin
Still I wade through the gentle rain
Finding beauty in the subtle pain
Every day I'm learning to remain
Floating in these deeper waters
I'm diving, I'm diving
Into waters unknown
The pressure's building
But I'm still holding on
My lungs are burning
As I search for the light
In these deeper waters
I'm learning how to survive
Sometimes I let the current take me down
Just to feel something real
The weight of water all around
Reminds me that I can still feel
And maybe when I reach the bottom
I'll find the strength to rise again
I'm diving, I'm diving
Into waters unknown
The pressure's building
But I'm still holding on
My lungs are burning
As I search for the light
In these deeper waters
I'm learning how to survive
The light breaks through the surface
In patterns I never saw before
Maybe I'm not drowning
Just discovering a new shore
In these deeper waters
