Like a young child sitting on a beach
Wondering why the sea takes away the wave
Just when they touch her feet
The ocean seems to come calling for a claim

Is it what the moon does too?
Taking away the moonlight some days
What about the summer
Shooing snow flakes away?
Like they belong to the winter
And spring makes the flowers sway

You're banking on the blessings
As you make your way
Through the blessed assurance
You count on every day

You may stop in wonder
As you wonder about it
Wearing high your hip boots
Being knee deep in your sin

You love you some Jesus
But only part of the time
You'll end up falling for it all
If you don't fall into line

You move to the motion
Of the day to day
Tossed out on the ocean
In all you give away

Never learning from the concept
They call sink or swim
With flailing arms, you move along
As you go down again

Battling the burden
That is tossed in life
Which wouldn't be such a worry
If you didn't love Jesus part of the time

if one more person
tells me i take things
way too personally
i might lose my ****

crippling anxiety
running its course
don't blame me
or i'll lose my wits

i'm already on edge
i can't take anymore
and even if i know
exploding is not a good fix

i will let it all go
because why the **** not
if i hold it in any longer
i will blow to bits

i get all choked up
and you yell at me
because i can't find the air in my lungs
to vocalize it

i am so upset
i'm frustrated
beyond imagination
feelings become too intense

i'm drowning in words
that won't come out
because my irrational feelings of terror
won't let them

but you don't care
you want an answer
so you'll push my buttons
again and again

not understanding
that i'm shutting down
concerned with my actions
not my intent
