There's an ocean inside my heart
The waters are as black as night
There's an ocean but the waves are dark
They consume everything in sight
Nothing lives inside its stomach
But moans and groans
A never-ending emptiness
It creeps along my limbs and bones
Feeding on my loneliness
There's an ocean inside my heart
It grew like mould
When you went away
You made a hole and there it grew
Feeding on me everyday
There's an ocean where nothing swims
Where no light can penetrate
There's an ocean
It lives in me
Sometimes I don't know it's there
But when I do
I feel like drowning
In its dark waters
It's an ocean and sometimes I resurface
And I breathe in the light and the air
But I dread the day, the one day
When I do not
