Lost at Sea

When I feel lost at sea
My breath rescues me
Turn down, tune out, stop the noise
Silence reveals calmness and joy

And sure it seems easy to stop the barrage
To realize it's nothing but inconsequential
Yet so influential it follows me down
So I can't rid myself of the infinite sound

I let it go to my head
Trapped in what was said
I know I should let it all go
But then how will I ever know

And while I lay here harshly judging myself
I spiral down round and round losing my way
Through the endless gray haze of which me is to stay
But nothing gives me any real sort of sway

For the meals are just keeping the engine alive
And the sunlight is nice but it gets in the way
Of my infatuation with meaningless noise
And sleeping feels mostly like its wasted time

And while I say this with intents in my brain
To change up my ways and to live in the freedom
Of ridding myself of the infinite noise
I always wake up in the same sort of daze

And one day I'll look back and realize they're gone
The days when I did have the chance to move on
To the things that I felt were important to me
But instead, I fell into compLatency
