Against the Tide

An all expanding ocean, an ever rising sea
No one else for miles, no one else but me
All I have's horizon, laughing hard at me
Everywhere around me
White and foamy teeth

Ain't no boat that's just sailing by
Got no wings that'll make me fly
And I'm so tired of swimming out
Against the tide

Ain't no chance of drowning,
With such buoyancy
But I'm sinking on my own terms
Low as I can be
Takes me to a bottom of my own variety
Like a bottom feeder
It's my own private sea

There's no praise that can lift my pride
No corner where I can hide
And I'm so tired of swimming out
Against the tide

I'm so mad and hungry
And tired of being alone
If only for one night
I'd like a happy home

There's no contract that I can sign
Guarantees that I can buy
And I'm so tired of swimming out
Against the tide

Maybe a force that can change the tide
A fire in my heart and mind
Cause I'm so tired of swimming out
Against the tide
