Undertow

I get carried away
by something below
caught by the current
events unfolding
spiraling out of control
I'm all out of control
by the undertow

will I ever return home
I want to live on my own
but at what cost
to the lives lost
without me
my family
fleeting away
carried away
by the undertow

I get carried away
by the tides below
arisen by the waves
sea levels rising
to decease and decreasing
I decrease and am ceasing
by the undertow

will I ever return home
I want to live on my own
but at what cost
to the lives lost
without me
my family
fleeting away
I'm being carried away
by the undertow

no hands to hold me in deeper levels
my feet only know of shallow bevels
I'm head first into the unknown
no reunion for my family
I don't realize I'm going
too far from my home
no strength to breach the burden
and therefore I'm carried away
by the undertow from below
what lives will be lost
when I go too far to know
where I came from

I get carried away
by worries I don't know
yet they haunt me
anxiety growing
cold shivers, heartbeat slowing
it's too late I'm going
with the undertow

will I ever return home
I want to live on my own
but at what cost
what if I forgot
who made me
my family
fleeting away
I get carried away
by the undertow

I get carried away
too far away from today
too late for tomorrow
or later when
I ask myself again and again
who are my friends and family
I don't know and they're going
far from the undertow

will I ever return home
I want to live on my own
but at what cost
of the lives lost
without me
my family
fleeting away from me
I get carried away from these
things I should hold dear
too far from today
too late for tomorrow
I get burdened by anxiety
I get carried away by something below
far deeper than I could realize
I get carried away to the undertow
whatever is going with the flow
far away from everybody
far away from me
I get carried away
will I ever return
I don't know
