so much to do
so much is done
so little time
so much time wasted
fed to the sharks
bitten and bleeding
floating adrift
each and every day thousands of us are tossed to the sea
thousands of them
all like me
all like you
unknowing till the sharks smell you
then the teeth
oh the teeth, stained red from the millions and billions of victims before me,
before you,
before them,
the teeth of the sharks nibble on your bones
and they prey upon your flesh
then, when it's over,
you're frightened and wary
swimming in the endless sea, only able to go forward
or under, if you wish
and in the calm after that first attack,
you meet others
and you band together and grow affections
friendships and romantic relationships
and the previous attack doesn't seem so bad
your wounds heal
you can breathe again
but the calm only lasts so long
the sharks encircle you again
and they pick at you all seperately
you pull together
as a group
until something stops them
and in the choppy waters afterwards, you may seperate
but more join you
and you heal each other in the calm before the next attack
everyday thousands are tossed to this savage sea of life
everyday more and more are attacked by the sharks of life
everyday someone goes under and lets themself go
everyday we must face these obstacles
life is rough
it's not fair
who asked us if we wanted to make this sea our dwelling place?
thrust from the womb to the sharks, without a moments notice
time
time was all you needed
time was all I needed
but so much was wasted
and so much lies ahead
that no one can find the time
and as the sea runs red around you
when the teeth come biting down
bear it
because there will be calm
and it will lay before pain
over and over
in a cycle
neverending
neverending
like the time no one can find
like the breath in the air
like the songs in our hearts
like the water in the sea
so much is done
so little time
so much time wasted
fed to the sharks
bitten and bleeding
floating adrift
each and every day thousands of us are tossed to the sea
thousands of them
all like me
