Swim To The Moon
Between The Buried & Me

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


All alone on the world's waters, here I am

The sun's slowly drifting past the edge of the world

All alone on the world's 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

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


No more panic, no more regret

No more hoping for a new mess


Slide into the water, become one with the sea

Life seems so much smaller, swim to the moon


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 drifting


This as seen on TV anchor

Is just another lie, I guess

Hoping for something not there


Not there


Filling a void

That I can't quite put my finger on

Filling a void


This loneliness I've always seeked

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 to a struggle


I'm in the middle of black water

No sign of human life

Panic takes over my body

Panic takes over my body

Over my body


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, a getaway outfit

This is an inevitable death, inevitable death


Slide into the water, become one with the sea

Life seems so much smaller, swim to the moon


Look into the picture, look into the picture

Look into the picture, look into the picture

This is what I lived to be, this very moment

The first time in my life I've felt pure joy


Slide into the water, become one with the sea

Life seems so much smaller, swim to the moon


Slide into the water, become one with the sea

Life seems so much smaller, swim to the moon

Slide into the water, become one with the sea

Life seems so much smaller, swim to the moon
