Shaken by tides

Heavy as they sound

I respond with heat

Let it dwell as I stare 

Moving forward quickly 

Splashing backwards again

Wiping blood with salt

Never been tasted before

I ride these tides slowly

As I respond softly 

Let it dwell as I stare 

These tides are stronger 

I'm weak as I try harder

I shimmer with waters 

On my face I hit the ground 

As I respond softly 

Let it dwell as I stare 

These tides are stronger.
