Life tosses you in
doesn't care if you can swim
doesn't care if it's cold or it's not
When you sink to the bottom
the light is forgotten
the ocean floor becomes a burial plot
But what they keep forgetting
is that you're ever-changing
and when life teeters, you start to totter
dancing on the edge of a knife
you'll save your own life
and find your way out of the deep water
