Floating

I left my name in the river
Where the water pulls me down
I've been floating through the silence
With no solid ground

Every step feels borrowed
Every breath feels used
The sky's falling slowly
In shades of blue

And I don't know if I'm running
Or just standing still
The current knows my secret
But never will

I'm floating, floating
Through an ocean wild
Blue turns dark
Every time I try

I'm crawling, crawling
But the sound is gone
The river keeps on calling
Me alone

There's a light on the horizon
But it fades when I stare
All these words I never said
Are heavy in the air

My hands are cold and shaking
From holding on too long
I built a home in the echo
Of a half-known song

If I let go of the shoreline
Will I finally breathe
Or will the dark water
Make a ghost of me?

I'm floating, floating
Through an ocean wild
Blue turns dark
Every time I try

I'm crawling, crawling
But the sound is gone
The river keeps on calling
Me alone

I'm floating, floating
I'm floating, floating

Dark water, don't be gentle
I'm already broken in
If I sink into the silence
Let it be where I begin

I'm falling, falling
No way back tonight
The ocean, it's breathing
In blue and white

I'm falling, falling
But it feels like home
The river, it keeps on calling
Me alone

(I'm falling, falling)
I'm the river
(I'm floating, floating)
I am gone
(I'm falling, falling)
In the tide, the ocean I deserve
