I’m drowning in the ocean of sorrow
Going down and down beneath the cold, dark water
I feel the Piranhas’ razor teeth in my skin
My flesh is being eaten
My body is being torn apart
But my heart is still beating
Hoping to become like a pearl
Inside a cockle shell
To be found by a fisherman
A man who is but a dream
Lost in the ocean stream.
