Swim to the Moon

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro (0:00-2:40)] [Verse 1: Thomas Rogers & Chuck Johnson] It's been a long night, away from it all The grabbing authority of my peers The rusty cage that never seems to open When can I escape? When can I swim to the moon? I've heard this expression my entire life Never realized how peaceful a statement it is I've heard this expression my entire life Never realized how peaceful a statement it is [Verse 2] All alone on the worlds waters, here I am The sun's slowly drifting past the edge of the world All alone on the worlds waters, here I am The sun's slowly drifting past the edge of the world I'm the loneliest boat on this entire body of water Rest will give my awakening purpose This is why I have come here in the first place A peace I have never felt, a life I did not want to live I will awake through sleep The drifting drifter, look into the picture [Pre-Chorus: The Foreshadowing] No more panic, no more regret No more hoping for a new mess [Chorus] Slide into the water Become one with the sea Life seems so much smaller Swim to the moon [Verse 3] I awake with a cool breeze blowing through my dirty hair Rested, stable, a first A caffeine junkie's longest wish: peace and quiet No wake ups, no expectations A strange feeling, suddenly drifting No wake ups, no expectations A strange feeling, suddenly drifting [Instrumental Interlude - Drum Solo] [Verse 4] This "As Seen on TV" anchor is just another lie, I guess Hoping for something not there Filling a void that I can't quite put my finger on Filling a void [Verse 5] This loneliness I always seek I'm in the middle of black water No sign of human life in any direction The most peaceful event of my life Seems to have typically turned into a struggle I'm in the middle of black water, no sign of human life [Interlude] Panic takes over my body Panic takes over my body [Verse 6] I have indeed floated due to a non-reversible decision to flee Just for a day I told myself My survival skills were lost years ago Here I am: no food, no clean water And this extremely embarrassing attempt at a "get away outfit" This is an inevitable death, inevitable death [Chorus] Slide into the water Become one with the sea Life seems so much smaller Swim to the moon [Instrumental Break (9:34-14:33)] [Bridge] Look into the picture Look into the picture Look into the picture Look into the picture [Pre-Chorus: Worry leaves my body] This is what I lived to be This very moment is the first time in my life that I've felt pure joy [Chorus] Slide into the water Become one with the sea Life seems so much smaller Swim to the moon [Chorus] Slide into the water Become one with the sea Life seems so much smaller Swim to the moon [Chorus] Slide into the water Become one with the sea Life seems so much smaller Swim to the moon
