This Boat is Shaking

This boat is shaking, I can’t let go

With all this weight, could you help me float?

The waves are fighting a battle in the sun

Will the sails keep swaying if the elements won?

I will reach for land before I leave

This boat it hurts me, with all this rocking I’m sick

My way out, I’ll remember it

The walls are flooding, the salt it burns

In these violent waters I never learn

Just hold on before you go under

This boat is cold, these winds are rampant

I can’t handle these icy tactics

The floors are heavy, the rails are glass

I’ve sailed this storm and now it’s come back

I hope my ground halts its tipping

And for the world to stop spinning

This boat is shaking, I could let go

Will my fingers rest if I float?
