Lyrics Pipeline - Small

A thousand ways to spend my days by the ocean
Close my eyes and feel the tide lend its motion
To all that′s beyond this salted pond
Try not to sink, weighed down by what you think
The instance of life, just inches of time we've been wasting
What are sandcastles for if waves on the shore keep erasing
Feel my chest, as I take a breathe
Whatever comes next hasn′t happened yet

Is it just me or is there a weight
Pressing on my shoulder blades
If this is all just one mistake
(Everything alive has its time)
The why I am still so afraid
(Hang ten, or be set to take a dive)
