Swimming out to sea (Song: draft 1)

All of those times that I was sleeping
Holding me ransom in the night
I came around and day was creeping
Trying to carry off the light

All of those times I’d paint a smile
Tying a neck tie on a tree
It almost had me for a while
But then something saved me from
Swimming out to sea
Rescuing me
Swimming out to sea
Setting me free
Always just in reach
My car keys on the beach
Washing out the cries
Watching the sun rise
Swimming out to sea
Swimming out to sea

Debating with voices inside my head
Letting their judgement shape my day
Laying with them inside my day bed
Letting them always have their way

All of those times I’d paint a smile
Tying a neck tie on a tree
It almost had me for a while
But then something saved me from
Swimming out to sea
Rescuing me
Swimming out to sea
Setting me free
Always just in reach
My car keys on the beach
Washing out the cries
Watching the sun rise
Swimming out to sea
Swimming out to sea
