Riptide

I wrote a song I'm decently proud of! 

Lyrics:
We’ve been wading through hip-deep water 
And have come upon a riptide. 
Now we’re treading in the middle of the ocean
with no way back to shore.
All the rafts are sitting there on the beach 
With ropes and chains they are tied
No gust is big enough to blow them my way
So I’m dragged to the ocean floor

Down, down, down
Down, down, down

I thrash like hot water
I crash like waves on stone
My lungs are filling up
As I drown here alone

Soon The Man will throw a rope will in my direction 
One of his half-baked plans
My cold body will be limp as I’m pulled in
Barely, barely holding on
I’ll be left so broken and bruised
From rocks I hit before I land
He’ll say now pay me what I’m owed
Then he’ll leave me with no one

Some of us are trying hard to find dry land
But some of us are failing to execute the damn plan

We’re all in the same boat
Broke folk without a cloak
We’re on the boat
And it’s sinking
It’s sinking
It’s sinking
It’s sinking
