Guitar Cases and Dirty Clothes

CAUGHT UP

I’m caught up in the ocean these days
Like the tide pulls the breakers away
Returning them to where they ran from

Like a rebellion

I’m caught up in the ocean these days
Like being in incomprehensible darkness
With creatures lurking
Like shadows

I’m caught up in the ocean these days
Like a flashlight illuminating
Only a few feet in front
Leaving much

Undiscovered

I’m caught up in the ocean these days
Because…

I’m afraid.
