Sinking Feeling
Shiftless are the locks
Pointless are the keys
And there’s no sure passage
Just the darkest blue seas
Breathless are the sails
Empty are the nets
Just a sinking feeling
And the deepest regrets
The rain that trickles
Down the window pane
The sun that never seems to set
The polished surface
Never shows the strain
And you haven’t even hit the bottom yet
Twisted up in knots
Lost without a sound
You tried to keep your ahead above
You might as well have drowned
The rain that trickles
Down the window pane
The sun that never seems to set
The polished surface
Never shows the strain
And you haven’t even hit the bottom yet
That sinking feeling
Though you’ve crossed a million times
Still you’re stretched out at the rail
You stare down at the waves retreating
Balancing the scale
The rain that trickles
Down the window pane
The sun that never seems to set
The polished surface
Never shows the strain
And you haven’t even hit the bottom yet
That sinking feeling
