19

Deep water, my friend, cover me
For I have already been drowned
Swam with demons in infinite sea
Never again to be found.
I lost my way in the desert
I found winding paths in the dark
That led me to you, led me to hurt
Like a tree stripped of it's bark.
Laid bare by furious oceans
Poured over by thunderous rage
Drowned in a sea, I did not come clean
I did not start a blank page.
I just kept on swimming with Hate
And my shoulder angel went black
My shoulder demons started to date
Then plunged a knife in my back.
I should have foreseen it, did not
For I was too baptized in sin
That all things of grace I forgot
Took devils out for a spin.
Deep water, my friend, cover me
For I have already been drowned
Betrayed myself, what I couldn't see
Is a way that I could be found.
