Ocean Of Bodies

Glistening water washing over the sand
On the edge of it lays a deserted hand
Leading to the peak of water just beyond the rocks
Lays some deserted feet in bloody socks

And Just beyond the algae bed
Lays a deserted woman's decomposed head
The water is full of crimson blood and body parts
Floating hair and human hearts

The air is brittle and hard to breathe
The sand is blowing, so hard to see
They whisper,"Yes come join us here"
Grabbing at my feet, chanting"There's plenty of room
to share"

I stand there while they call me in
Losing my balance on this rock and slipping again
They pull be harder into their grip
Hoping they pull me in with one quick slip

I back away but the wind blows me towards the sea
Distorted images show me how good that would be
To swim all day long and ignore the fight
To surrender my life and swim in the blackest of night

To belong in a group of people who want me so bad
Their bony faces calling out to me looking sad
So desperate their fingernails bleed and break
Making me feel that its their souls too at steak

I take a jagged rock from a pile
Stand there looking beyond with a huge smile
Get on the edge of the rock and let myself sway
In reality this vision is a state of dismay

I run the rock against my wrist
Not even clinching or making a fist
They pull at my feet and pull me in
Devouring my soul with their twisted grin
I gave up the Fight, let myself fall
Gave up the fight, answered Satan's call

I'm floating somewhere in this midst of the sea
This isn't where i wanted to be
I thought it was going to be fun, better, and great
This empty feeling inside i hate

They took my soul and left my heart in the sand
Scratched at the wrists,made evil to my hand
The ocean of people so hungry to break free
This is a place of hell forever i will be

This is no ordinary ocean of deep blue
Too many deserted bodies to point to one and ask "who?"
They want you and crave your flesh and soul
Rip you apart and later devour you as a whole

This is the ocean of bodies surrounding me
Distorted eyes told me this is where i should be.
