Swim to the Moon

[Instrumental Intro (0:00-2:40)]

[Verse 1: Thomas Rogers & Chuck Johnson]
It’s been a long night, away from it all
The grabbing authority of my peers
The rusty cage that never seems to open
When can I escape?
When can I swim to the moon?
I’ve heard this expression my entire life
Never realized how peaceful a statement it is
I’ve heard this expression my entire life
Never realized how peaceful a statement it is

[Verse 2]
All alone on the worlds waters, here I am
The sun’s slowly drifting past the edge of the world
All alone on the worlds waters, here I am
The sun’s slowly drifting past the edge of the world
I’m the loneliest boat on this entire body of water
Rest will give my awakening purpose
This is why I have come here in the first place
A peace I have never felt, a life I did not want to live
I will awake through sleep
The drifting drifter, look into the picture

[Pre-Chorus: The Foreshadowing]
No more panic, no more regret
No more hoping for a new mess

[Chorus]
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon

[Verse 3]
I awake with a cool breeze blowing through my dirty hair
Rested, stable, a first
A caffeine junkie’s longest wish: peace and quiet
No wake ups, no expectations
A strange feeling, suddenly drifting
No wake ups, no expectations
A strange feeling, suddenly drifting

[Instrumental Interlude - Drum Solo]

[Verse 4]
This “As Seen on TV” anchor is just another lie, I guess
Hoping for something not there
Filling a void that I can’t quite put my finger on
Filling a void

[Verse 5]
This loneliness I always seek
I’m in the middle of black water
No sign of human life in any direction
The most peaceful event of my life
Seems to have typically turned into a struggle
I’m in the middle of black water, no sign of human life

[Interlude]
Panic takes over my body
Panic takes over my body

[Verse 6]
I have indeed floated due to a non-reversible decision to flee
Just for a day I told myself
My survival skills were lost years ago
Here I am: no food, no clean water
And this extremely embarrassing attempt at a “get away outfit”
This is an inevitable death, inevitable death

[Chorus]
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon

[Instrumental Break (9:34-14:33)]

[Bridge]
Look into the picture
Look into the picture
Look into the picture
Look into the picture

[Pre-Chorus: Worry leaves my body]
This is what I lived to be
This very moment is the first time in my life that I’ve felt pure joy

[Chorus]
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon

[Chorus]
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon

[Chorus]
Slide into the water
Become one with the sea
Life seems so much smaller
Swim to the moon
