Deep Six

Tippy tippy tap.
You've finally snapped your cap.
I think I heard a ghost.
Calling coast to coast.

I somehow lost my friends
And now I've got the bends.
It's coming up so fast.
You can't outswim your past.

Their shadows looming cold
Just twenty two years old.
Deep six, full fathom five.
It's time to look alive.

The bottom, waits for me.
The coral I can see
Why they call me home,
Beneath the green sea foam.

A knocking at the door.
Wishy washy floor.
Ok, I'm coming down.
Today, I'm finally found.

At once, not too far back
A light flash turned to black.
Beneath the curling waves.
No one to tend to the graves.

Now has come the day,
The one that got away.
A hole that needs a patch
A diver, down the hatch.

A feeling, here it comes.
So long, so lost, I've won.
I know it has to be
My conscience waits for me.
