|
You pushed me out to sea today |
|
And hoped to watch me drown |
|
All I had was my baggage |
|
You thought it'd weigh me down |
|
And as I drifted out |
|
I floated out until the raft was sinking |
|
I gasped for air |
|
I coughed salt water |
|
I couldn't help but drink in |
|
I jumped ship; you couldn't see me. |
|
You thought I'd breathed my last |
|
I started swimming towards the shore |
|
From which I had been cast |
|
I struggled back until |
|
You were sure that I would die |
|
But I found a strength, a will, a hate |
|
I couldn't pacify |
|
So I made it back |
|
I fought back, was almost to your shore |
|
You had something in your hands for me |
|
A braided crown of thorns |
|
Then I turned around |
|
I swam away, never to look back |
|
I'm no more the fool |
|
Who would die and know a salt sack |
