Saltwater tears and words made of sand
Is what scars us when we fall from the land.

Into the sea we go,
Sinking deep into the earth below.

Clogged are our thoughts,
But dead we are not.

We just float below the water,
Yet our heartbeat never falters.

There's no way to rise but to fight,
No way to see without light.

How can we be here and stay alive?
Oh, it is because our faith has failed to dive.

Strong we are inside,
And in this prison we can survive.

Our lungs will fill, but our hearts will still beat,
Because survival will be the water's defeat.
