There Is Blood in the Water

Drowning in waters, deeper than my scars
Sinking backwards, gazing at the stars
The light's breaking, eyes are flooded
Now I know I won't die cold-blooded
Time to find acquaintances
Time off for all five senses
Now that time is all I've gained
With everything else uselessly drained
Into the black of this ocean

I turn around to face the dark
When from the shadow comes a shark
Tearing away my wrinkled skin
Scourging me for all my sin
I try to scream
But inhaling fills my lungs
I try to dream
But there a second biter comes
Attracted by my bloody scent
Now my meat is what I lend
Adjoinedly they thrust their hungry jaws
All for a single good cause
In the black of this ocean

The other fish, they stay away
Leave me to rot and to decay
The sharks, they took me bit by bit
Parted me well so that I'm split
I gave myself to them, every last piece
Hoping that whoever's watching sees
That I chose sharks to be my only friends
So hypocrisy finally ends
But one thing must be noted
Know that I was devoted
To the sharks completely
And though it is a little freaky
I can only fill so many mouths
I won't care how much he shouts
If I'm already eaten away, then no hope
And no wish
Can make you cope
Because you realize you were just one of the fish.
