Great Sea

Father, why'd you make me so uneven?
A selfish and selective listener
I see it all, I see it as it is
But I see it through a tiny useless lens

I try hard to bury all my feelings
While everyone around me suffers so
I'm not the only one who's hurting
I'm just not paddling my share at all

I'm just dragging down this raft that we're all on

I've said "leave me"
But I didn't know what I was saying
I've been so wrong about the way I think of things
We're not floating, we're all parts of a great sea
And my actions extend far past me

Mother, how'd you learn to stop your dreaming
A better way to explain the reason to drown
Whether St. Christopher or Ophelia, you took those steps
You dragged the world, but saw in me yourself
Go

I've said "leave me"
But I didn't know what I was saying
I've been so wrong about the way I think of things
We're not floating, we're all parts of a great sea
And my actions extend far past me
