Sun and Sea

Sun and Sea 01:23
These summer nights are mine, helps me feel alive. The late night swims, but running short on time. The signs across the fence, trying to keep me out. I don’t listen to their rules or let them bring me down. Sun, sand, sea, consumes me. This city of aggression, left with nothing to do. Faced low lives who had something to prove. Always on your back till the very end. But I'm staying out late till the sun’s up again. Sun, Sand, Sea, Consume me. Dealing with the scum in this fucking city. Grinding my teeth to find peace within me. If I never had the sea I could take it no more. My mind would be a mess, body left on the floor.

When we were younger, we had the world in our hands. Chose where we went to, never needed a plan. Now I look around and everyone is gone. Their lives kept changing, while I couldn’t move on. Trapped for so long inside this illusion. The thoughts in my head. The source of confusion. People ask the question “will I ever grow up?” I'm still not ready yet, still not ready to stop. I see into their eyes,see they’ve settled for less. They feel the weight of the world crashing down upon their chest. Trapped for so long inside this illusion. The thoughts in my head. The source of confusion. In the passing of time and the fading of light. I still hear them calling out. Bring me back. Bring me back from the edge of the cliff. Bring me back to the comfort of failure. Bring me back until all in my head is flipped from inside to out. You're standing on top trying to push me down. Well I won't back down.

Have I walked the wrong path? Or found myself a different way? Have I wasted another year? Is my time slipping away? I disconnected from the world. Lost myself in the divide. Same mistakes all over again. I fell short but I still tried. The clock kept turning but I'm still here, waiting on another sign. Everyone keeps telling me; but I can't live another's life. I disconnected from the world. Lost myself in the divide. Same mistakes all over again. I fell short but I still tried. And I'm still standing here, underneath the doorway. And while the lights go dim, I'm still reaching out for the past. I'm trying to find what's missing, because I'm slipping away. Giving up on this feeling, because there's no end in sight.

It wasn’t long ago. I still remember the days. I once knew a kid always suffering. Walking the halls to be pushed aside, another day passes by with nowhere to hide. And day by day till he thought he was through, they would take and take. There was nothing he could do. The kid had so much hate building in his mind, he said they would never break a tear from his eyes. Another face forgotten, with him it remains. Society faults a young person's pain. Slipping through cracks. No-one sees him leave. The burden of his past still haunts his memory. He still sees their faces and wonders why. Replays those memories engraved in his mind. Being passed off when he was just the same. Remember that kid you tried to break?
