Elegy

Into the ebb
Into the flow
Seasick beyond control
While earth lies still
Giving no answers
I’m rocking to and fro
Where to go

Subside tranquilly
This song is sung silently
And ode to mediocrity
The soundtrack to shame
Subside tranquilly
This song is an elegy
If I can’t find clarity
There’s nothing to say

Into abundance
Yet with disdain
How to find the words to explain
The sweetest poison
Is never sweet enough
To ease the throbbing pain
Wash it away

Subside tranquilly
This song is sung silently
And ode to mediocrity
The soundtrack to shame
Subside tranquilly
This song is an elegy
If I can’t find clarity
There’s only escape

Come raging sea, wash me away
Let me drown in you, seize the pain

Subside tranquilly
I can’t sing this silently
And I can’t seem to find peace
Keep wasting my days
Subside tranquilly
This song is an elegy
I’m losing my dignity
I thirst for a change
I’m waiting for the sea
To wash it all away

Wash it away
Make it okay

Subside tranquilly
This song is sung silently
This song is an elegy
Meant to ease the pain
Subside tranquilly
Within lives the enemy
Within lies the remedy
I’ll be okay
