Took a stroll along the seaside
Danced upon the shallow surf
Laughed until the tides turned, smashing
Darkened waves to sable earth

Lingered in the rhapsody
Now the water levels rise
Fight in vain to reach the shore
Grappling with the riptide

Whipped down to the ocean floor
Icy jets expose raw skin
Gasp for breath, inhaling liquid
Realizing you'll never win

In too deep from the beginning
Broken, beat, you close your eyes
Nothing left to fight for life
Swallowed by the riptide

back to the highway that never ends
