Unfound Manifest

Today I saw another photograph
Worse than the last and I just couldn't back up
I don't believe, ashamed of what I discovered
Tears in my eyes, I had to look away
Things just dissolve day by day
In an ocean of pain, pulling the weary under

Sinking in the dark water
Fighting back against the tide
I can't hold on much longer
When the salt begins to rise
But the trouble is lonely that drench the sea
And more in the net than guilt has freed
Undertow
And below the waves they rest
A wooden ship from Tripoli
With an odd found manifest

I'm in my head and I'm feeling false
In my little way, I'm mourning my loss
Half a world away, I get back under the covers
Time outside is moving slow
When I'm going down, I dive in sorrow
I just can't explain how the sky loses its color

Sinking in the dark water
Fighting back against the tide
I can't hold on much longer
When the salt begins to rise
But the trouble is lonely that drench the sea
And more in the net than guilt has freed
Undertow
And below the waves they rest
A wooden ship from Tripoli
With an odd found manifest

Just say a name
Just say a word to me
And I'll break down, I'm trying desperately
To find something here to redeem
Is it my mind or just an imminent tragedy?

Sinking in the dark water
Fighting back against the tide
I can't hold on much longer
When the salt begins to rise
But the trouble is lonely that drench the sea
And more in the net than guilt has freed
Undertow
And below the waves they rest
A wooden ship from Tripoli
With an odd found manifest
