Different Boats, Same Ocean

There's a light in the distance
(Help us) navigate the way through
Sometimes we fight our existence
Scuffle past day one day two
(Behind our backs) we can hear someone talking
Difficult to say who
Normally it's in all in our minds
(Gives us) someone to relate to
We rise and we fall like the tide
Sailing together, they fight by your side
Manning the cannons and finding your pride
Disastrous aftermath, dying inside
At least we can say that we tried
Shame the current never let's up
Swept away like our feet are tied
Toppled over but the strongest always gets up
Avoiding the feelings we have like a sickness
We bury our heads in the sand
Approaching the coast, what we've wanted the most
It couldn't come quicker, we're ready to land
On the horizon, it seems pretty close
But the winds are against us, risking the plan
Steering us slowly off course, this voyage requires a steadier hand
Hercules, embrace these labours
Up to us when we change behaviours
Learn your lesson, don't evade these failures
Spice of life, gonna taste these flavours
Our problems are similar
But when it goes wrong, we tend to blame strangers
Always try to relate, not in the same boat but face the same dangers

Different boats, but we're sailing on the same ocean
Situations vary, but remaining on the wave's motion
Time heals the worst of it but underneath we stay broken
At night there's nothing left, but we spend the day hoping

Different boats, but we're still stuck in that same storm
Situations vary, but soaked through when the rains pour
It's always cold but we do our best to stay warm
The fire burns, always something to make way for

Foggy night, it's like smoke on the water, feeling deep
Purple sky, sign of things to come, why can't I sleep
Maybe it's all the ups and downs, got my stomach weak
Lost at sea without a paddle, how I miss that creek
Memories of being grounded, we were old enough
Where ignorance was so bliss, we'd just get bored of stuff
Now every day's half a struggle, we're barely holding up
Fortune favours the bold, explains why I'm short of luck
Hold my sorrows under, don't let them breathe
Don't let them free, while I try to perceive this web that's weaved
Maybe I'll find some peace
But at the same time, I don't want them to leave
They're always stuck with me
When I'm metaphorically lost at sea
In my head, I'm facing dread, but yet it's hard to see
Drifting out across the darkness, know there's more for me
Always in that boat, stay floating past what's happened
Life comes at you fast, pass the Kraken

Different boats, but we're sailing on the same ocean
Situations vary, but remaining on the wave's motion
Time heals the worst of it but underneath we stay broken
At night there's nothing left, but we spend the day hoping

Different boats, but we're still stuck in that same storm
Situations vary, but soaked through when the rains pour
It's always cold but we do our best to stay warm
The fire burns, always something to make way for
